As I pack my dive bag I'm irritated when my scubapro superglide plus takes up 2/3 of the space. I love the pockets and D rings, I love the integrated weight system, but it is a big bulky sucker.
Let me describe my diving. I'm a warm water wuss. I will never dive in water below 74 degrees. Ever. I ALWAYS have to fly to my dive destinations so size DOES matter. I'm 5' 11" 230. I'm not a techy kind of guy. I want a fairly simple set up and I don't want to have to redo it every trip. (In other words having to take it apart and rebuild it every trip is an absolute deal breaker).
Price is not important. I carry a light, signal mirror, SMB (on a D ring), and camera (small pocket sea and sea camera) and a tiny bottle of johnsons baby shampoo in my pockets every dive, so I do need decent sized pockets.
It just seems to me that a plate and wing would be much more compact but can I get one with the pockets, 3 D rings and integrated weights? (Tropical diving only)
Oh, and I will never dive doubles. Single tank only. I know it seems picky, and maybe it is impossible. If so I will look at a travel BC. Thanks, Jay
