There IS NO CORRECT  configuration for bungeed wings.  There is NO CORRECT
way for defective designs to be used.  Further, some gear makers will try to
sell a dual bladder dual hose BC, and suggest this is the proper
configuration to use when diving double steels with steel stages and
wetsuit. The only "proper" configuration here is NOT to match heavy steels
with wetsuit. To sell a blatantly stupid configuration/solution is close to
criminal. Yet you would endorse this.
Halcyon makes a very big deal about what is proper configuration  AND proper
use of its systems. And DIR develops this even further.

Hold on a minute, what was that you said Dan?    Configured properly?
When I
read the archives this same argument has received no hearing at all when
others
have broached the subject about OMS BC's needing to be configured properly.
Why it is that Halcyon incidents in some cases may be justifiable by user
configuration problems, but OMS configurations cannot?    I do not
understand
the inconsistency here?
