If you want a lifejacket, get one.

Thats what the old horsecollars were :-)


The BC or BP/W that holds you, correctly, horizontal, while diving, is the
superior design.


This assumes that one's definition of "correct" is that it equals
horizontal.


Particularly for UW photo, my definition of correct is that the BC
does not impede me from attaining any orientation while diving.

So it's your BC that does that?

And not your skill as a diver?

Interesting.

Plus, it would be nice if it could do double duty on the surface as a
'life jacket' for those instances where the surface float doesn't go
according to plan (see the current month's issue of Alert Diver for an
example), or at least not be a bad face-dunker. Particuarly when
using rental AL80's at some remote resort because they don't have any
Steels.

Or you could stick with a horse collar set-up.

I use diving gear to dive.
