Hey new friends 👋🤿🌊☺️

I have the Peregrine, but not the TX. I think you’ll be very happy with it. Very easy to change settings and it doesn’t reset to default over night (a problem you don’t hear about until you own one that does - and it’s very frustrating).

I also dive a Zena. It’s not BP/W but it’s close. It’s made for women and if you add a crotch strap it’s pretty amazing. You can order it so that the pieces of it are sized perfectly for the way your body is made. I would recommend going through zeagleexpress.com if you decide to go with a Zena. I suspect most dive shops don’t really know how to size them, and if they do, they don’t have each of the components in different sizes. The folks there are great to work with. If you are interested in a crotch strap they can add one for a fee. I wish the Zena was already made with one.

When you are looking at BCs, including BP/W do make the effort to try them on WITH a tank attached. I bought a BC and loved it … and then put it on a tank and hated the way it sat on my back. The straps bit into my breasts and it was terribly uncomfortable.

That is very good feedback, good point, thank you! I’m going to try to find a dive shop that carries them to check out and order one if I like it. I would assume dive shops rent out different bcs to try, maybe I’ll do that the rest of the summer months to see my options and/or if I’m waiting on the Zena to arrive

But that’s great advice to try it on with a tank, I would have gotten lost in the sales sauce and forgotten all about that.

I don’t see why not! This calls for exploration!

It is, it really is. We did half of the certification open diving in the quarry today with little visibility after the rain and I didn’t want to leave. Looking up at the sun through the water even 20 feet below…it is so peaceful.

Yes, I just got one off Amazon because they had it and the dive shop didn’t - it has bright white, soft white, red, and UV - works great so far
