Congratulations. Still working on getting mine. Anybody want to buy a Black Diamond BC?

Brother, I think you're going to love it. If you're a swimmer, like your photo, you'll love the freedom. That's how it worked for me.

You know, I used to argue that diving a BP & W could not be that much different than diving a well fitted BC... BOY I've been wrong before, but never THIS wrong!

I initially thought, well this will be for doubles only... now my trusty BC is looking for a new home.

I've been meaning to write a review of my experience, but can't seem to have enough time to gather my thoughts on the subject.

You're not alone, my friend...

BW/Wing is great but dive with steel tank really makes a difference. I went from 24lbs with a transpac and AL80 to 12lbs with a SS BP/wing and a steel tank.

You do realize given the numbers above, the BP/W made more of a weight difference than AL -> Steel, right?
