Which BC?

I am looking at the Brigade or the Ranger. Does any one have any suggestions?

probably depends on your budget and the type of diving that you anticipate doing.

I have a Brigade and it works perfect for me - I dive wet (7mm) in the quarry and do not think I will be adding a dry suit to the mix for awhile and doubles are a long ways off

if you choose to go with the Brigade, down the road you could add a larger bladder if you need more lift than the 35 that comes with it.

It depends what you want to do with it. Will you be using it to dive locally, or travel? What kind of gear do you expect to use with it.

They're very similar rigs, but the Brigade has a smaller wing. For most recreational diving, I think the Brigade is the way to go.

I will be doing most of my dives in Oklahoma and Missouri. With two to three trips a year to Miami. I was thinking the brigade was a better option for me. Especially since it is almost 200 less.

I agree. Go with the Brigade.
