Zeagle products be them bcd's or regs are more than capable to handle the diving conditions of the NJ coast line. I have had mine up in the northern waters of Canada and the waters of the Carribean. The Zeagles have solid construction and an excellent warranty and fit system. I may be biased when it comes to Zeagle but I can tell you I was not always that way. I learned more about the products they have and looked at the quality of those products, then I was sold on them. I have only had one so called DIR diver question my use of a Zeagle tech with a bp for diving doubles, his trim was not better than mine and I was carrying more cylinders. Since then Zeagle has produced a top quality BP which can be used with any of their wings/bladder systems. With the correct fit the bcd's are very diver friendly. You must look and compare the bcd's in the area LDS to see what you feel is a better buy and a better constructed bcd. As mentioned those LDS that put down other equipment lines are not after anything but to take care of themselves. Equipment manufacturers only permit their equipment to be sold within a specific radius of one LDS to another. If a LDS wants that line and they are to close to one that already carries it then they will not get it and are forced to carry another line. Shop around. The Zeagle bcd's can handle the diving conditions of the NJ area and be comfortable to the diver using it
