B.C. Choices

[DetectorGuy]

I do not know alot about the BP/Wings so enlighten me... alot of people who wear the BP/W claim to like it for the streamlined fit and increased hydrodynamics... How many pockets do those things have? Not that it matters but I have two on the BC that I often have filled with any combination of the following: Camera, secondary light, folding snorkel, finger spool, pelican buoys, (for retrieving anchors after the dive), lift bag, SMB, etc... Where do you put this stuff when you dive with a BP/W? does it just hang from a beaner from one of the many, but cool looking, "D-rings"? If all this stuff is just hanging from your streamlined and hydrodynamically superior harness, is it really that much more streamlined? I realize that most if not all DIR divers use these harnesses and sometimes I wonder if all that stuff just hanging around "outside" would get tangled-caught-lost in a challenging dive site? I think this is a great thread but there is not much support from the BC camp. Are BC's going the way of the Edsel or is it still a matter of personal preference? I think that If you have good dive practices and keep your gear in A-1 condition you can be as safe and as comfortable as the next guy wearing the "Trendy" stuff.
