haha im just confused as to what kind of gear i should get because i dont want to be let down.....i wnat something quality.
I have both wing and BCD
The bc will make you feel at ease on the surface,the wing makes you feel like your falling foward on the surface.
The Bc underwater wraps around your front which is not as comfortible as the wing.
The wing is alot less restrictive.
The reason i like the Jacket style BCD is for its safety factor.
if you would pass out on surface for any reason,the Scuba pro classic fully inflated will keep you uprite.
Your head will not go down into the water.
I can not say the same for a wing type,if you feel like you are going to fall face down with it while you are awake what would happen if you are passed out?
This is one reason why inflatable bc's jacket were invented.
before that there was just Back plates.
When Scubapro came out with stab jacket it also had an emergency co2 cartridge to inflate jacket if you sensed you were in trouble,i think you can still get it on new jackets.
There is no question wings are alot more comfortable , but there is no question that the stab jacket stye bcd is safer!
