Hi everyone!
I'm a diver who does about 20 dives a year - maybe a Livebaoard or some shore diving in the Red Sea.
I have about 110 dives, and I always rent the BCD.
Last week I tried a BP&W for the first time.
I really felt more streamlined and hydrodynamic, and I think my air consumption improved, which I really like.
I don't think my amount of diving justifies buying a BP&W, which seem to start at around 400 Euros.
But I can probably get a lightly used Litehawk for half that price.
I remember liking the feel of the Litehawk in the shop but I never tried it in the water.
From reading online, a lot of people seem to like it as a travel BCD.
So I'd like to know if it's very similar to using a BP&W in terms of feel in the water and trim.
Is it just like a BP&W but without the possibility of "growing with it" and the modularity?
Any input is appreciated!
