Disabled/Handicapped divers

[wldake]

I agree so much about the experience. I am getting some pool time in December to test out a Halcyon BC and see if that is something I like.

Scubert had mentioned the idea of having the weight of the backplate over my back which wiil eliminate some weight and I think this will help a bunch. I also think it will let me position weights in strategic places rather than just have them in the BC in fixed spots (such as a jacket style BC).

I am looking into ScubaPro regulators with a long hose configuration. The main reason for ScubaPro is the fact that I can get them at a real good price. The regs of choice at this time are the S600 and G250 for both primary and backup. They are both primarily the same reg internally. The other thing I'm torn on at this time is whether to get a DIN first stage or Yoke. I thought the DIN with an adapter. Thoughts?

I also saw some diving pants that look like they'd be a real help for my leg and butt float problem. I could put these on and then put the need weight in the pockets to keep my lower half from floating.

Thanks again all for the suggestions and support.
