I'd like to add a recommendation to BC's.
Last night I tried on an Amer-Sea BC Wing. I found it to be very comfortable. I have not taken one in to the water, yet, but I hope to soon.
One of the features I liked was a shorter semi-ridgid "back plate" then the Zeagle Ranger while having the same features as one:
840 AMER-GUARD This "wings" style BCD is designed for the serious sport diver.

One of the most comfortable BCs you will ever own.
This BC can fit almost any body shape because the shoulders, jacket, cummerbund, and bladder assembly are separate components. X-Small size has no cargo pockets due to size limitation.
Your choice of three (3) different lift capacities +/- 45 lb., 55 lb., or 75 lb. All are the same cost, so select the best one for your needs.
Enjoy greater freedom of movement and no inflation squeeze because lift is behind the diver
Such a nice fit that both men and women love to dive it.
Tough 1,000 denier Cordura material for more durability
Welded tough steel "D" rings
Two (2) cargo pockets up front where you wanted them
Weight release pockets have zippered top openings and a large bottom flap ready to open if you ever have to dump your weights. Simply grab the easy-to-find red handle and open the pocket to dump the weights
Soft back has two (2) tank bands and an extra tank strap which may be used as a carry handle.
Inflator valve assembly with Rapid Exhaust
Low pressure hose is included
Second exhaust/dump valve is also Over pressure valve - located lower right rear.
Adjustable: Chest strap, shoulders, cummerbund, and belly band
Colors: Solid Black, or w/ shoulders in Red, Blue, Flor.Yellow, Lime, Pink, Grape
Sizes: X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, XX-Large, XXX-Large Sizing is easy since components can be ordered individually and mixed to fit any size.
