Hi all,

I'm after a new BCD as mine has finally given up the ghost. I'd like about 20k's of lift, non integrated weights (I have a shot harness) and it need to be light (Good for UK dives and travelling) and non cluttered (Noel's Seac pro2000 is too heavy and fussy and don't even get me started on his back plate and wing...).

The closest I've seen to this is the SeaQuest pro (my old one is a Seaquest spectrum which was great). Does anyone else know of other brands and models which will suit?

Thanks in advance,

Dawn

<font color='#000080'>What about a diverite transpac 2 + trekwing ?

OK I know it is a harness/wing. &nbsp;But it ain't much more difficult to stick it on a single cylinder and put it on than a BCD and they are pretty uncluttered by comparison and really, really light.

Alternatively some of the Seaquest/Oceanic range are fairly uncluttered.

I have a Scubapro Glide 1000, seems fairly tough, is light weight and might fit the bill. New model has more D rings than mine, which is a good idea and was tested by Bsac Dive mag as being suitable for both travel and acting as a main BCD due to its hard wearing lightweight construction.

Just noticed (Dawn - doh!) does it need to be a 'ladies' model?
