Hi,

Hello Felix, if you go to this link: http://www.scuba.com/shop/DiveSystems.asp?Category=125 the third package on that list will have this BCD in it. Also yes this would be the travel BCD I would pick if I needed a travel BCD.
Felix:
Hi,
Back to Darrick. I see that the package includes a dive computer, which I already have. If we limit the package to the BCD, the regulator, the octopus and manometer, where do we get to?
Thanks
