Compared to a jacket-style or even a back inflation BCD, my trim was immediately better. It usually takes a few dives to sort out where the D-rings belong and which set of holes in the BP and wing the STA or doubles work best with.RumBum:By comfortable I mean that your trim and bouancy skill in the new kit were at least as good if not better than you had previously in your jacket-style BCD.
RumBum:I am declaring myself converted! My husband said he was surpised I took to a BP/W so quickly. So I wondered if most people have trouble adapting from a jacket BC to a BP/W set-up? By comfortable I mean that your trim and bouancy skill in the new kit were at least as good if not better than you had previously in your jacket-style BCD. Thank you for quenching my curiosity!
