Subject: Technical BC, Who's Best?
Date: Tue, 06 Jun 95 15:44:00 EDT


I need to buy a BC for my continuing education in Technical Diving, I have 
narrowed the choices
to the following BC's; OMS, Diverite Transpac, SeaQuest Black Diamond, 
Zeagle Ranger.

There's Pro's and Con's to all these choices, I like the Black Diamond best 
but I've heard that it
doesn't handle Doubles very well and lacks lift capacity.  I like the 
Bladder on the OMS but
 the harness seems pretty spartan.  I like the weigh integration of the 
Black Diamond.
I've heard the Zeagle is not that well planned out for Technical Diving.
The Diverite seems to be very good, but doesn't offer to much in the way of 
creature comforts?

From the stand point of the technical Diving Community, what else makes one 
better over
another?  I'm sure these same questions have come up before but I'm looking 
for some newer
viewpoints.

Thanks, Steve Merenkov   svm@fi*.co*
