Hello everyone -
Curious! scubaboard has always been a very pro-BP wing place. You really can not talk about BCDs without the BP wing recommendation popping up. I am a BP wing user myself but the anti jacket pro wing sentiment on here sometimes amazes me because it really does not represent the statistics I see on dive boats.
I am just curious how many people here have gone from BP wing to jacket or back inflate bcds.
Anyone?
I think it's more a learning curve than anything else. Very few shops offer OW students BP/wing setups so they all start out on BCD's most recreational Instructors teach using BCD's, but once you start diving with a BP I can't think of any reason why you would want to go back.
