Cressi sub

[nitroxphoto]

I'm looking into buy a new BCD that's weight integrated, time to lose the belt. Does any one have any experience with the Cressi-sub Flight Control system? I'm interested in losing the corrugated hose and so far the reviews have been good. Thanks for any advice.

I don't own one but have used one...a buddies. I really wasn't impressed with the flight system. Does it work, yes, just in an odd position for me. I really hated the idea that the oral inflator is in a pocket. When you need it most is when it will be the hardest to find.

My DB doesn't care for the fact that the controls stick out and are a bit of a problem to pack.

Have you looked at the Cressi-sub aquapro5 nitroxphoto? I have this model, it's a pretty good basic BC the only drawback I'd say is that the weight integration is minimal, max of 3 kilos in each pocket. I'm guessing that you use a lot more weight diving in Sweden than that. Other cressi BC's that have a standard inflator hose and offer more weight capacity and are in your price range are the Aqualight and maybe the S114 which is a back inflation model. Not a fan of the Flight control system, I prefer the corrugated hose. www.divernet.co.uk has some reviews of the Flight control system I believe. Hopefully they'll be of some help to you.
Take a look at the Mares Jubilee too.
