I need a new BCD.....

[BVI Hunter]

Time to pay out a few $$$ and get myself a new BCD.

Just wondered what others used and why?

Will need some good stair age and places to attach kit.

I have been offered an AP Commando but thought I'd look around.

Any suggestions?

I like (and dive) both a Dive Rite Transpac and a back plate/wing setup with an OMS harness and a 40 lb Oxycheq wing. With either setup you can add/subtract/customize to fit what you need with pockets/d-rings/etc. You can also often get a pretty good deal on a used one. With that said, the Zeagle Ranger is much like either of these rigs and I happen to have a nice used one for sale...

I saved about $400 on this Sherwood on EBay. It still had tags hanging on it. It is almost too big (2XL) without a wetsuit on but it had been 25 years since I upgraded and really like the built in weight system.

There I was thinking because I am a fairly big bloke, you would have to be enormously strong to beat me at "who can carry the most scuba tanks" competition. So off I go staggering around with 8 tanks strategically placed around my body in their back packs as follows.

1 and 2 slung over my right shoulder

3 and 4 slung over my left shoulder

5 on my back and 6 on my front

7 and 8 held one in each hand

Now, the other Kevin photographed on the right is clearly much smaller than the Rolling Stones fan (me) on the left. So I knew I had him beaten with this demonstration of immense strength. So imagine my chagrin ( that's a posh word for being really pissed off) When................

He waddled out of the swimming pool area, with all of the tanks mentioned above, in exactly the same place as me (big cheater watching my gargantuan effort) and .......wait for it........... roll on the drums.......... the little %$#@ (make up your own swear word) had one in his teeth by the strap.

You can imagine I am sure, how dumb I felt thinking, because I was big and strong - it made me smart. Oh well, back to the drawing board..............
