Hi Laurence
 
How does the Beuchat compare with the U.S. Divers B.C.D.'s do you know
or does anyone? I own a U.S. Divers Alcyone B.C.D. but I had problems
with it in Hawaii, It's wasn't letting out the air. so the current
caught me but I got things back under control.  But my second trip to
Hawaii I used a jacket style B.C.D. and did not have any problems.
So I am just curious if the jacket style is better for warm water diving
and if the back mounted bladders like the "Alcyone" are better for the
cold water diving?????

I too am from Sacramento, But I haven't had a chance to do any cold
water diving yet. where do you go diving??? Just curious.
