Dacor Hub Any good?

[The Great Orca]

Hello,
I was looking around and I stumbled upon the Dacor Hub Bcd. Has anyone had experience with it? What BCD is recommended for a newbie?

No. Stay away.

Read the archives in the BC forum to get tons of opinions.

unfortunatly we can't say do a search because it won't work on HUB...do one on dacor and it should come up. Or save your self the time and don't buy one. Many opinions on here and none of them will tell you to buy a HUB.

Now now, in all fairness I have read one person positively commenting on their newly bought HUB. He/she liked the inflator button position down by the belt, for some reason.

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. You are right. I think the person that had the positive feedback had problems with his shoulder and couldn't get his arm up high enough to dump air. Of course he probably doesn't know about dump valves either.
A buddy of mine has a Cressi flight control(same style) I call it his wheel chair controls.

That would be one question that only you can answer for sure. There are a lot different things to consider, price being the major one. Also do you want weight integrated, back inflate, jacket, etc. Get your choices down to two or three and then post and get feedback from others, that's what where here for.
