Zeagle Stiletto BCD (Buoyancy Control Device)

There are so many types of BC in the market nowadays, such as jacket style, back inflated, wing and finally i had made up my mind. I got myself  the Zeagle Stiletto (back inflated).  I believed most of the divers are using jacket style BC at the early stage as most of the dive centre only provided this type of BC.

Before i made up my mind to go for this back inflated BC, i had actually experienced the wing type BC. There are so many positive comments about this BC but personally i don't find myself into it even though this type of BC always getting the higher rating and lots of positive comments.

I personally found that back inflated BC is like more secured to me, it is designed according to the jacket but the air only inflated at the back somehow give me the feeling like a wing type BC. This BC also come with built in weight pocket and two detachable which i found is a great advantages. So forget  the weight belt and just put the weight into the pocket.

While underwater, i'll say i love this BC, weight are evenly spread. This helped in streamline myself. Besides this BC also equipped with 5 stainless steel D rings, and this is useful as well for me. i clipped my camera, pointer, and SMB at those D rings to make things organized.

Anyway, buying a BC was totally personal preference as long as we find comfortable with it and enjoy it underwater.
