Help find a Bc?

[TheGnome]

Okay, over the past 8 years of diving i have had quite a few BC's and each one of them didnt fit very well, maybe they are supposed to be like the way they fit me. But no matter how much i try to adjust the BC it is still loose on my body. Does anyone need good BC's that usally fit really well to the body? I've tried everything i can think of with the current. Nothing.... Any help and ideas on which BC I would be really greatful. Thanks

Which ones have you tried thus far? If you list them along with what didn't work with for you, that'll help everyone out in giving you a recommendation.

Introduce yourself to the infinitely adjustable BP/W (hog harness). Fits any diver perfectly.

Give it a search on this board. There are lots of information on it.

I am really glad I switched over to a BP+Wing system back then. Never looked back since.

Yeap.. Recently made the switch, after 3 BC's... Kicked myself for not buying that setup from the very beginning... Wasted so much money down the road...

current BC is Sherwood Avid....love it....it works for me...my next purchase will be the Riptide Zone.....fits really well, i just have not gotten one wet yet...maybe a BP/W later on down the road(and yes, i have dived with a BP/W)

If you want a good snug fit, it's hard to beat a backplate and wing, as many others have said. Of course, if you want to become an instructor, you may find the shop you'll teach for will want you to wear a certain brand that they sell.

If you don't want to do a BP/W for some reason (although they are great!) then I might recommend a Zeagle BC. They are modular, so you can get a different fit on the upper part from the lower--quite nice.

Are you a man or a woman? That makes a big difference.

I have to agree.
I took my 14 year old daughter for her intro to SCUBA (with Dad) last weekend. Took me all of 10 minutes to adjust one of my plates and hog harnesses to fit her.
I have about 75 # and 5 inches on her.

You might look into a SeaSoft Pro. They're very adjustable.
