    I used this BC on 7 fresh water dives before sending it back. The first issue was that half of my weight fell out because of the way the weight pocket was designed and sent me plummeting to the surface. The last 2 times I used the BC the power inflator leaked air into the BC, some times fast, sometimes slow, again sending me to the surface. Luckily I was in shallower water during these events because all of these issues could have caused serious injury.

        I got this BCD and used it for my Rescue Diver cert. and it's the one I'll be using for upcoming Divemaster training. Good fit, nothing got in the way while doing unresponsive dive recoveries or in-water rescue breathing. It seemed very durable and was very adjustable. It was my first BCD purchase, so obviously all others that I've worn were rentals – thus I've got quite a comparison range. Maybe I'm biased because this one is "mine" but it certainly is one of my favs. that I've worn. I would certainly recommend this – especially for the price.

            1st review after 2 dives - Purchased this as a replacement to my damaged Scubapro. I was very happy with the former and will always compare this with that. Today's use was on a wreck & a reef it performed good. I achieved the my perfect buoyancy in no time and had no other problems to share. I had no problems with my photography either. I'm happy with the purchase and would recommend this.... Will re-review after i use this for another 20 dives or so. May be (only a "may be") the lift in this less lesser than the Scubapro. That is negligible!!!

              Awesome BCD for a great price. Used this BCD during my Open Water Training and decided to purchase it. Used this BCD while on vacation in the Carribean and in the cold waters of Gloucester, MA last November. Warm or cold water this BCD performs great. BCD also worked great during a deep dive to 100 feet.

              I've used this BC on over 10 dives so far and love it! It is pretty sturdy and seems durable. I like the different design of the weight pockets from most BCs because if I was ever in a situation where I had to ditch weight I would not be loosing an expensive weight pocket as well. As a Scientific Diver it has plenty of D rings and pockets for me store all my equipment. The only thing I wish it had was a trim weight pocket, but I only notice the need for that when I'm kneeling in the sand.
