I have just returned from a few days recreational diving in 21-26 deg C
water and used my Diverite Original wing with a backplate and harness and a
single 10l Ali cylinder.  The arrangement worked fine and I did not notice
any flapping of the wing - it just nicely wrapped around the cylinder.  I
dived in a skin and also neoprene bottom/skin and my weighting was spot-on
so the minimum of gas was added to the wing at the start of the dive.

This arrangement is not ideal but as I rarely dive a single, I could not
justify the cost of a more suitably sized wing.  Obviously, were I to dive
more frequently on singles, then I would buy a smaller wing with less lift
such as the Halcyon which look to be well made and ideal.

All,

Anyone use the classic wing for single tank diving? Any obvious
problems/tips from first-hand experience I should know about?

thanks in advance,
