Oh well just more excuses to go diving...

I got back from a dive trip and tried out some various BCD's and I ended up liking the BP/W.

The only issue I had with the one I was renting is that it didn't have enough lift. Since the one I had was a rental and the LDS said it was old...the bladder was a little small and it made it a little difficult to adjust my trim. Also the BCD inflator hose seemed to hang a little high. I could reach and use it easly, but when I dive with a jacket BCD I am used to it having it hang a little lower. This the norm for bp/w or is it just me?


So what are the BP/W you guys are useing? Something with a bigger bladder.

Trim doesn't have much to do with wing lift capacity. Chances are the lift was just fine (you float on the surface, right?), or even more than you'd need.

Yes, corrugated hoses on BPWs tend to be on the short side. I like mine longer, so I put longer corrugated hoses onh my BPW. It ain't that big of a deal to swap them out.
