How are the > Dive-Rites? The Dive-Rite wings don't have bungee or anything with it. I'm diving them without any kind of elastic right now and it's a bit of a pain. First, the wings hang and don't stay tucked. And second, I have to worry about my orientation to dump my air. I've seen Florida cave divers solve this by putting large bands of surgical tubing around the tanks (attached to the bolts). Then the wings are tucked under this when the tanks are mounted to the back-plate. Cheap, easy and customizable. I've used this system in the past and it works really well. So why aren't I using it now?? Well... let's just say that moving to another country is interesting. Anyone have any idea what "surgical tubing" is in Swiss German? ;-) Devon
