Hi Divers, I have been diving with my Oceanic Chute 1 BCD for the pass 10 years and recently the back rubber frame which hold the jacket and wing has broke into pieces. I am planing to get a Backplate Buoyancy System which I can used it for my recreational dive and upgradeable to technical diving.  I would prefer which have Integrated weight system, a small pocket, pull dump exhaust valve, shoulders quick-release buckles, confortable and fitting. Can I install my Oceanic Air XS 2 Inflator to the Backplate Buoyancy System? I am 5'6" tall 58 Kgs. (Size S)  Air Cell's Lift Capacity from 25 - 40 lbs. My budget is S$500 - S$800.  Please advise and recommend a few good Manufacturers and Models for me to choose from.  Thanks. Happy Diving.    Report
