No place there to get it repaired and I did not bring an extra retaining ring... ended up buying an octo, and using my Envoy as the primary. Was not fun... I got the Zeagle repaired (thank you Scott), but I now travel with a SCUBAPRO, and dive here with the Zeagle.

Great information to have and something to think about for sure. Thanks!

Thanks for all your feedback. I'm getting close to calling Larry to order my package

So what's your final order looking like?

I think I'm going to go with the following setup: Zeagle Scout BCD, Zeagle Envoy reg, Zeagle Octo Z, Tusa SCA-240 gauge console (pressure and compass) and Mares M2 wrist computer

I had the same requirements, needs to be light weight and compact for travel. Joe recommended the Zeagle Brigade to me, I been using it for over a year now, I'm very happy with it. For my Reg setup I was recommended the TUSA RS-130, light weight and durable. I like my setup. And it is not that expensive.

I'm in the process of buying BC and regs package for diving in the tropics. Since most destination require traveling, weight and size obviously matter. I saw that scubatoys have light weight travel package. It includes Zeagle Scout BCD, Zeagle Rezort reg, Mares Brigade Viper Octo (optional Zeagle Octo Z), and Tusa SCA-230 platina gauge console (optional Tusa 343 Nitrox computer).

Does anyone have any experience with these gears? I was wondering if it makes more sense to get the SPG and Mares M2, which is on sale, rather than getting the Tusa 343? I've read in some threads that it's always a good idea to have SPG as backup. How about Aeris Atmos AI or Sherwood Wisdom computer?

Thanks for your help

Hey mate, do you find the brigade packs up light? I am looking at either getting the Mares icon or the Brigade, purely cos I thought that the brigade may not pack up as well as the icon?

Do you think it is a superior BC? (the brigade over the icon that is)

Cheers
Dave
