Hi

I am looking to purhcase a back inflation BCD. I really like the fit of the Zeagle Zena. I have never tried one in the water and would like to do so before making the investment. I live in NY.

Thanks
Karen
 
here's a link to many shops in the NY city area. njscuba.net . there is also a page for northern nj. i cant speak for any of the shops as far as their inventory but i'd suggest you make a few calls. the renowned Leisure Pro has alot you can try on. plus you can become on of the few on SB to actually step foot in the shop. thats kinda cool.
 
Leisure Pro has good prices, but no pool. You can try a back inflate out through Village Divers on 4th street. He'll let you play in the pool as long as you'd like. I'm not sure if he carries Zeagle, but he does have a good selection of back inflate BC's and BP/Wings.

He will also rent you anything you want to try by the day or week, and put 100% of the rental fee towards the purchase if you buy it.
 
Hi

Oh yes, I have actually stepped foot in LP. I don't plan on buying a BC there. Why would I? They have no warranty. I wanted to try it on for fit. Now I would like to try one out in the water. I think I found a place in PA. I'll be there over Easter. Thanks!
