It's gonna be weird trying to get this right again! I recently bought my first BC, which is adjustable. it fits anyone from a skinny 13 year old boy, to a 400 lb girl (I say girl because we need extra boob room!). I am glad I made that choice so I won't have to buy a new one post-op!!
My BC in adjustable also. The last time I went diving in salt water, I used 12lbs (when I was 50lbs lighter). It will be very interesting to see if I can use that again...or even less. I have all of my own equipment also, including 2 tanks.

Yes, keep my name as well. I'm really interested in getting back into diving again.
