Dacor Nautica Airtrim?

[Sordello]

I have just spent 2 weeks shopping for a BC to replace the old Aqualung Wave. It has been a tough search. I looked at everything and knew what features I wanted. In the end I purchased the "Nautica AT" at a very reasonable price - $270. There is actuall little or no comments on this BC and I won't recieve it until next week. I am curious if anyone has had expierence with this product. It seems from the features advertised to be a very good deal at that price.
BC's have to be the hardest thing to shop for in diving!

We had (still have) them, they were good when we started diving a few years ago. It took a few dives to get use to the AT location and how it dumps. My wife loved hers, the fit was perfect due to her being short and rather large in the breast area, none she tried fit her correctly, except the Dacor. I really didn't have any issues with mine, I liked it, but it didn't pack well for travel. So we just moved on to BP/Wings. Word of caution, watch the weight pouches, if you lose one they are way over priced about $50 each!

I have a Dacor Nautica BC that I like very much, especially for three reasons:
- ditchable drop-wieght pockets (unfortunately, I've lost one) that can in my case hold 5lbs each, as well as two trim pockets on the backpack that can hold 2-3lbs each (nicely positioned/balanced)
- air bladder inflates away from the body, so you don't get squeezed
- cumberbund that make it easier to get into and then snug-up the BCD

Seems like a good all-purpose BC to me, especially for larger divers!
