I just received my OW certification and am looking at purchasing my own BCD. I am looking for recommendations on the back inflatable BCD v. the vest style that inflates all around. Any suggestions? I am new and still adjusting to my buoyancy and definitely want integrated weights. Just looking for opinions on which one to purchase!
Thanks!

The other type to consider is a hybrid BC such as the Aeris ATMOS LX. The hybrid BC is mostly back inflate supplemented with a tiny bit of side inflation to help keep you vertical on the surface. I believe there are also other brands that have hybrid BCs but I don't recall the brands.
