They`re also very reasonably priced. Dacor is also a great name brand that as been around forever. They make both BC`s and regulators. You best bet is to go into as many dive shops you can and check them out try them on. Some BC`s fit differently than others and some regs come set up a little differently, but you can usually change the way your regulator is set up. Such as a vertical or horizontal configuration. I`d also recommend looking into buying used gear, mainly on craigslist.com or ebay.com A lot of times ppl will become certified but then cant equalize their ears or dont like the sport after a while so they buy new gear and then sell it for a really cheap price. You can also look into buying used rental gear from any dive shop that rents out equipment. However, rentals are usually a little more beat up than that 1 or 2 time diver that doesnt dive anymore.<br><b>References : </b><br>PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Zeagle is a newer BC company, but they make great quality BC`s and most of them are weight integrated so theres no need for a weight belt.
