Stealth diving
At the recent London Dive Show, we spent a couple of hours wandering between the neoprene and rubber-merchants, trying to find a BC that would fit, and most importantly fit comfortably, my wife.
We were lucky enough to stumble upon the Zeagle UK stand, where their lightweight, all black and rather stealthy "Stiletto" turned out to be just the ticket.
In a typical display of male madness, I tried one on too - was instantly hooked - and we're now the proud owners of matching BC's...
We'll be trying them out in Oman in June - so I'll post a full review then. But in the meantime, here's some blurb from the US site (UK site www.zeagleuk.com will apparently be up and running in 2-4 weeks time)
The Stiletto is a rugged full featured but light weight BC, designed for divers who may do both warm and temperate water diving but don't need the twin tank capability or higher lift of Zeagle's heavy-duty BC's. The Stiletto's extra durable reinforced 1000 denier nylon bladder material, gives an extra level of protection against abrasion or punctures in close environments like the edge of a coral reef or wreck. It has sufficient lift and weight capacity for most average sized divers to use in their local environments, yet packs easily into a lightweight travel system.
The Stiletto is similar in features to Zeagle's popular Escape BC, but it's bladder is constructed of heavier weight 1000 denier nylon. It also features stainless steel D-rings and Zeagle's PFS (Personal Fit System) sizing.
The Stiletto is ideal for the diver who wants a lightweight but rugged system, for both travel and local diving that doesn't compromise on features.
