New BCD Info Required

[Ricnott]

I am looking to bet my first BCD. I dive on a weekly basis at the
local pool and once a month at an inland quarry or around the UK coast.
So far my shortlist comprises of:
Tigullio T52
SeacSub Pro 2000
Seac Sub Pro Tech
Cressi Sub J111R
Cressi Sub S111R
I would appreciate any feedback that any users of these BCD's have.
Particularly the performance of the Tigullio, the use of a non
corrugated hose inflator on the J111R and if the Pro200 is worth the
extra money over the Pro Tech.

Ricnott,
It's a mindfield out there when buying new kit.Cost v Quality v weight
etc.
I wanted to buy a SeacSub Pro acouple of years ago but didn't have the
funds.
I opted for a Beuchat BCD with integrated weights.I bought it from
Mikes Scba shop in Bristol.
It is bullet proof & good value for money,I have taken it all over the
world & it hasn't ever let me down .The only bad point is that it is
quite a bundle to try & pack.
Surf the Beuchat/Mikes web sites for costs etc.
Let me know how you get on.
Safe Diving.
