If you're in a region where students are taught to dive dry from the start, great. Rent some for a while. It's too expensive an item to buy when you don't yet have a clue. I bought two bad BCs (and kept coming close to making a third bad choice with a Zeagle) before I got to the one I like - which is yes, a steel backplate with a weighted STA. I regretted none of my wetsuit/drysuit purchases done over time. -- Jason O'Rourke www.jor.com  |
