Advantages Light enough to take abroad without paying excess baggage

Disadvantages only 4 D rings (but that's a minor thing)

When thinking about buying a BCD earlier this year, I wandered into the local dive shop for a look around. I've dived with the people from the shop, and knew I could trust them not to rip me off by selling me something I didn't need.

During the conversation I mentioned I was going on holiday in a couple of weeks. George the owner said if I wanted to take one to try out on the holiday I could. I selected the Oceanic Nautic 1000, which is a pretty basic jacket. 4 D-rings, so if you like hanging loads of kit off your jacket, this isn't for you.

When packing, the jacket fitted nicely into the luggage and didn't add a lot of weight to it, so I would recommend it for this alone.

Once in Cyprus, a trip to the dive centre to arrange some dives and into the water we went. After a play around in the shallows to get used to the jacket, I found it very easy to use.

There are more expensive jackets with LOTS more D-rings, but at the moment, I don't have a need for lots of clips, and when diving abroad, it's ideal.

So all in all it's a reasonably priced basic jacket that won't break the bank, and will do the job it was made for.

    Good opinion. I've just bought an Oceanic BCD as well and have no complaints so far.
