Although, to be honest, it's something of a PITA to use a bp/w for Rescue, as you'll need to teach everyone how to get your out of it. (AOW is completely no problem, as it really doesn't matter) I would be sure you are very proficient in donning and doffing your rig yourself before you try to teach others how to do it in Rescue class. The good news is that there will be a few better-educated Rescue-trained divers out there once the class is over.

Mine has every creature feature known to man...sort of a BP/W fused with a BC. Integrated weights... shoulder QD's... crotch strap QD....pockets....comfy shoulder pads... back pads...and more stuff attached to it than batman had on his utility belt. Only one that I am jealous of is the Poseidon BP/W with it's 72 attachment points....and it is a bit easier to get in and out of.. actually a lot easier..
