I'm returning to diving after a short 20 year absence. I've been reading alot about equipment, and it is a little daunting. I'll be mostly recreational diving Southern California in a wetsuit, single tank. 20 years ago I used basically a plastic tank holder with a 'wing', weight belt. It looks like the weights are integrated in either case. Comments please, what you like, don't like, experinces etc. i.e. Zeagle ranger, Halcyon Backplate/wing set-ups.
