I have also tried Jims twin halcyon wing in the pool. I like the DR wing. From the discution this afternoon I think that the halmark fo a very very good diver is someone who can dive with any kit they may have or be given. You can't always just say I will only dive with you if you have the same kit as me.

I am getting rid of the stab because I don't like it and it is not right for me. ok thought process for my kit. 45lb Dive rite Trek wing. provides ample lift for my needs, is economically suitable for me. I like it and have tried it. Personal choice. trilaminate dry suit. having tried both I feel more comfortable with this. ss backplate with single peice harness. COs it makes sense is un complecated yet expandable. Sunto vyper- provides deco solutions for me when diving as a normal sport diver. atfer all how many dives do you do that have a totally square profile? TLS torches- they are the same as an EE one with longer battery life and cheaper cost. force fins. Cos I like them. Twin 7l steel 232bar iso manifolded cylinders. Provideing both enough gas for my diving and also providing some redundancy. But I may also take a 3l pony as well as you get more air in a full 3l pony than you will in an isolated 7L cylinder having breathed it for 2/3 of a dive. TX 50 regs with l9ong hose hog rigged. Cos it makes sense. mask- cos I need one and the one i have fits. Now any thing else? AK > - H > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
