BP&W!!!! I only wish I had known these existed before buying my current gear :shakehead:

I agree with melanie. I was talked into the complete Scubapro setup including the Knighthawk. It's a good BCD but it won't grow with me. If I had to to it all over again, it would be with a backplate and wing, very simple but it will meet your diving needs for almost any type of diving. Also, if the harness becomes frayed or the wing leaks you can replace it easily without having to buy another BCD. My 17 year old son just became certified and that's what I'm going to get him for Christmas.

The BP/W is not just for tech divers. My Advanced Nitrox, dry suit and Into to Tech instructor told me yesterday that he recommends BP/W for everyone including new OW students.
