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, Art. art.paltz@r2*.co* Last Dive 1/10/98, Klondike Rocks (lobster dive), NJ 75ft/65 min bottom time, 43 degrees F, 40% bottom mix. -----Original Message----- From: KennethBroz@CA*.sl*.co* [SMTP:KennethBroz@CA*.sl*.co*] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 1998 12:46 PM To: cavers@ww*.ge*.co*; techdiver@aquanaut.com 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.
