Which BCD?
I’ve recently been looking at my first BCD. Up until now i’ve been hiring them and it the last bit of major equipment I don’t actually have – so it’s time to get one. When I initally started looking, I was looking at the Mares Airtrim range. It’s got a few pros (as far as I can make out) but one major con is the bulkiness of it. This got me thinking about wings and maybe going down that route, then I saw the ScubaPro KnightHawk – “a back flotation jacket”. In principle it looks good, removes the clutter from around the front, but is significantly more expensive than the Mares. Hopefully I can try one on and see what it’s like.
