     John,

     I bought the OMS BC three weeks ago and I love it.  I had to cut a 
     mile of straps off it or else use them for up line :-). One item that 
     they could add is the little strap retatiner where the belly strap 
     goes into the backplate and then back out to the shoulder straps. That 
     would prevent the shoulder straps from changing dimensions. Otherwise 
     I havent experienced any of the problems of air ttransfer from side to 
     side that has been discussed. I feel that it is easier to get neutral 
     with the wings vs the stabilizer jacket. I have yet to dive my doubles 
     on this BC so I will let you know more later. I paid ~$400.00 for the 
     OMS with single bladder.



     Regards,


     Mike

I'm looking into buying a tech BCD in the immediate future but have 
been getting conflicting reports from reliable sources as to which is 
the best on the market at the moment. Any thoughts on the latest 
from OMS vs the Dive Rite Transpac? Do y'all think there's an 
advantage to a rigid backplate as in the OMS model? Are there other 
models out there that are superior to these two? Anyone know the cost 
of each?

Mahalo for any opinions,
John R
