New to the forum. Looking for some stuff

[MC]

Figured it would be a good idea to introduce myself. Too me a while to get access, but been lurking around for the past 2 wks.

Been out of diving for the past sereral years, but now my wife and oldest son are getting certified. That means back in the water for me.

I've PM a few of you about some BC's that you were offering. So please do not be discouraged about my lack of posts.

Thinking my wife would need a xsmall, or maybe a small (She's 5'4" about 120bls, smaller bust. My son is 5'5" and 135 lbs (but again only 12) thinking a small would be the right choice. But maybe a medium?

Thanks

If you are looking for a softback plate type BCD, my wife's setup will work for your wife. See my listing here: Dive Rite Small Transpac with Travel 360 Wing.

My wife has a used Zeagle Ranger that she has been using. It is a small. She is five foot tall, about 120 lbs (don't tell her I said so). It is in great shape. I do not know how old it is. I can send pics if you want. Back inflate, integrated weights. She has mentioned it is time for a different one. We are gear junkies. I would need to check with her, but probably around $275. Let me know if this interests you.

Thanks for the responses.

Son will definately need a small. Wife cold use a x-small but a small should also work.

If you could send photos that would be great

p.s-
gotta say I am an Aqua Lung/seaquest fan. The Libra looks good So does the Balance or the PRO lt.

edit 08-12-10

think I found the one that we like:
Seq Quest/Aqua lung Black diamond or the Aqua Lung Balance or the Libra (XS)-S or XL for the Balance or Black Diamond. Would be very interested in a quailty LIKE NEW one.

alright-

here is where we stand-

Wife likes the Zeagle Zuma. Any Opinons.

Looks like I have a Seaquest Diamond from a member

Son is still up in the air. May just wait a few months to see how he is with diving-
but he'll need a small for sure. Leaning towards a very basic BCD-

Thanks everyone. Been lurking on all the other posts about info.

My son was pretty close to yours in size (also 12) he dives an AQ Lattitude. But will be trying out the Malibu RDS.
