| Deciding which BCD to purchase was the hardest decision when I started buying my own dive gear. It was obvious that this is probably the most important piece of equipment when it comes to comfort in the water and ease of diving. During my Open Water course and subsequent dives using hired BCDs, it became obvious to me that there was a big difference in the performance and comfort of the various BCDs. Ideally, I wanted a BCD configuration that could handle my single Faber 15 litre steel tank, plus enable me to switch to using twin tanks down the track, should I need to. I wanted a BCD which would allow me to transfer some weight from my dive belt onto the BCD. I wanted a BCD that could adapt to the diving I might do later, rather than just be able to handle the diving I'm doing now. After a lot of questioning and Internet research, I started to lean towards a Dive Rite TransPac with Rec Wing configuration, or an OMS IQ Pack with dual bladder 60 lb lift wing configuration. On Anzac Day 2006, I had the opportunity to test dive an OMS IQ Pack harness system with 60 lb lift, dual bladder, elastomeric banded wing. I was the most comfortable I've ever been on a dive. This was a simply great setup for me. Size L-XL. Complete with two cylinder cam bands and bookscrews. Used as a part of my recreational diving BCD setup. Because of my desire to be easily seen both underwater and on the surface, I purchased the OMS wing in red. |
