Cheap, easy and customizable. > I am diving using the Dive-Rite "Junior" wings for both a 12 litre single plus 3 litre pony or with twin 10 litre cylinders. The bouyancy bag DOES have a strap and clip on each side to stop the wings moving around on the single tank. This seems to work OK. Using the doubles I don't clip the strap onto the sides of the wings as the tanks, the backplate and my body seem to hold everything in place OK. I'm not sure what the problem is. Don't the "Senior" wings have these straps ? One comment I can add in favour of the Dive-Rite wings is that I have yet to come across an easier way of swapping a bouyancy compensator between a single tank and doubles. Two wing nuts are all that have to be undone to enable the switch. Regards, Steve M. ******************************************************************************** ********** * * * * Dr. S. G.
