I started out with an original Dive-Rite Single bladder Wings B.C., and was very impressed with its quality. I recently purchased an OMS dual-bladder B.C. (wings-style), and am EXTREMELY impressed with its quality. The two-bladders-in-one-shell offers (in my opinion) the perfect compromise between redundancy and compact design. Add to that the elastic bands which keep the deflated B.C. very streamline, and you've got a very good piece of dive equipment. It also allows several dump options, and two sets of holes to mount to the backplate. I've heard that Dive-Rite has/will soon introduce a dual-bladder, single-shell wings-style B.C. with elastic bands, but I don't know anything about it. I have no first-hand experience with the Zeagle, but several people I know who have used them have told me they don't think they're as good. (But that's second-hand info) Aloha, Rich deepreef@bi*.bi*.ha*.or*
