or cos I dont like to see ladies arguing?

to make an informed decision you neded to have all the options.

I dive a single tank on a wing as I just dont like the BCD I once loved and would never part with. Because I tried a wing, and not for tecky twin stuff just to see if it worked for me.
More likely because you jumped into a thread which asked for experiences of womens BC's. Unless you are actually a woman, I'm sorry to telly ou, but you cannot possibly hve direct experience of womens BC's. All you can have is observed experience. You may well agree with Kath and Fiona, but it is like you advising a woman on which bra she should buy. You don't have tits so you can't know what it is like to have them squished into a place they are not designed to be squished into any more than i can advise you whether boxers, jockey shorts or y- fronts are the most comfortable.

Next time there is a Pee valve thread, I will give my valued opinion as to how to stick the condom thingy on based shall I?

it never stops others from opining.

I know what my wife tells me about BCDs and what she says about my wing and harness or does her opinion not count

Of course she does, but you did not give her opinion, you gave yours.

thanks Fiona not often I agree with you wholeheartedly but I think your right on this one

there was a bit about ample bosoms and having dived with Kath a few times I can confirm that the wing works better than the Buddy BCD did.


we always recommend trying different stuff before buying what you want wheres the difference here??



sorry long day in work and I hate seeing ladies arguing


I cant see where I put my opinion, I just agreed and confirmed. of course if you want to go down the semantics then it could very possibly vaguely be construed as an opinion.

but hey when trying to help somebody by agreeing with valid points and talking to my wife about things and remebering discussions in the past I obviosly have no idea .

WooHoo, sitting on the sidelines on this one and with no valid opinion on Ladies BDC's at all can I just say how pleased I am that with one notable exception, you all seem to fit into the "ample busom" category Long may it continue.

Personally I say loud and proud BRING BACK SCUBEE'S BOOBIES!
