Choosing The Right BCD
BCD advice –
Shop –
BCDs come in two basic shapes; jackets and wings. Most divers learn to dive using a jacket style BCD, these inflate all around your body and around your waist so you feel nice and secure in the water and you sit in a nice position on the surface. Wing BCDs only inflate behind you in a donut or horseshoe shape between you and your cylinder. Wings are preferred by more experienced divers because they hold you in a horizontal position in the water and do not obstruct your movements when fully inflated.

Wing/BP.
No reason not to start in a bp/w. So much simpler and cleaner. They're more "advanced" but a singles wing and a basic hogarthian harness isn't any more complex certainly.
Well, if you're back mounting LOL
Awesome video thanks !!

I'm torn… The wing bcd feels better, but the jacket looks so cool!!!!

where would the sea quest balance fit in
I've out grown my old bcd that i had for 3 years and got as a hand me down(its beat up) and I am looking for a new bcd, I love going vertical in the water collum, are back inflates still good for going vertical
Does anybidy have and recomendations for a bcd for lots of scientific diving, and going vertical very often
I'm already eyeing the aqualung axiom i-3 wrapture because I dont have to fumble between my inflator hose and my snorkle
