Have you priced the DUI tech BC?  I think it lists at like $700.  Don't
think I'll be getting one any time soon.


Safe diving,

	Subject:	Dive Wings - DUI

	I have not seen email on the evaluation of the  Wings produced
on the
	new DUI BCD - do they get an endorsement from the WKPP ??

	What about Brownies Wings?     15lb         30lb        50lb

	As a person wanting to do it right (but maybe not having the
"Right
	amount of disposable cash"), it is necessary to do this
incrementally.
	This also helps in building proficiency with the equipment under
	different configurations and understanding the equipment in
those
	varying conditions.  I dive wet in Northern California - but due
to some
	travel - I get to Florida, Mexico etc a few times a year -  then
I dive
	with skins or 3MM.  

	I have the Brownie backplate  - I presently dive wet (the money
issue)
	with mostly singles (8 to 1) in comparison to the use of
doubles.  What
	is the best wing configuration that will be least expensive to
configure
	when I can go dry??  

	My present usage of singles is usually classes  at 120fsw or
less - open
	ocean.  My use of doubles is no deeper than 200 fsw.  Awaiting
the money
	to get the dry suit and the appropriate training plus
experience.  I
	love wreck penetration.  I would love more cave time, however,
there is
	little to none that I know about in the Northern CA area.  I am
hoping
	to make Akumal for a vacation this summer and get some time in
the caves
	there.  I am cave certified and have maybe 20 additional
recreational
	dives in Florida  (a great and helpful community).  

	Note:  I just got married - hope this doesn't hurt the chance to
get the
	scooter.  

	Thanks in advance to the response - You may respond directly to
my Email
	if you wish.

	Ken
