	I spent the last two weeks in technical training in Miami area and
during that I had the chance to try several BC combinations on my dives: Zeagle
Tech BC, Dive Rite Jr, OMS BC, Dive Rite TransPac, and some "multi-vendor"
combinations. Here is my personal evaluation:

	* Zeagle Tech BC:
		* OK for singles
		* not OK for doubles unless used with Dive Rite or OMS
		  backplates
	* Dive Rite Jr:
		* OK for singles
		* not enough lift in some situations with doubles
	* Dive Rite Transpac:
		* the harness is OK, but I didn't like the air bags
	* OMS BC:
		* nice overall winner; I especially liked the bands that
		  reduce the air bags to almost the point of collapse! Because
		  of them you also can easily dump air out of the BC
