Tigullio

[Grozzer]

Greetings all from a newbie - post numero uno

Considering buying my first BC and narrowed down the search, fit and comfort-wise, to just a few. Front runners are the SeaQuest Pro QD and Tigullio Hover, both of which very comfy (at least in the shop!) Both get good reviews from the mags and the SeaQuest seems to have mostly very good comments in these forums. Did a search for Tigullio here tho' and found only one brief chat about it. Anybody else got any comments, positive or negative, to make about this BC?

Before you ask, my diving is a real mish-mash - flying and driving, Caribbean and UK.

Thanks

Grozzer,

I own a Tigullio T52 Hover. I must say it is very good underwater. Keeps you horizontal which is the desired diving position. The integrated weight pockets are also positioned well. I put 2# of weights on each of the back pockets and still use a weight belt with 6# of weight.

My only issue with this BC is at the surface where it keeps pushing me forward when fully inflated. Unlike my previous BC, Scuba Pro Classic, it kept me upright and chest high above water, which was good when the surface is rough.

Good luck and let me know if you need more information.

Best,
Hory
