I've purchased a set of Halcyon 65# explorer wings. (which BTW, totally kick ass as far as design and construction) Once I got it home and really examined it, it really seems to be too much. These things are *big*. It's larger than my DR original's and I thought those were on the large side. Anyway, it was suggested at the shop that I go with the 45# wings. Is anyone using these in the ocean? After some quick calculations it seems that 45# should do the job. The most negatively buoyant rig I'll be using these with is: drysuit, double PST 95's, canister light -14 Ah, 40cf Al stage. At the beginning of the dive it seems (if my numbers are right) that this gear will be about 31# neg. Plus I could always pump air into my suit. Does this sound right?
