Last week I had the opportunuty to try out ScubaPro's new BCD, which they
are supposed to release for sale before the end of the year.  Cave divers
might not like it because it has a few extra pockets & such that might
lead to drag.  However, I found it EXTREMELY comfortable and easy to get
in and out of.  It has a zillion adjustment options, and I believe you
will have a choice of 3 or more lift-capacities, which can be easily
interchanged by the user.  It can be configured for singles or doubles. 
I'll probably buy one for myself. 

Aloha,
Rich
