When you guys get a character like this , I would suggest just working the general question, and then ignoring any of the silliness that we all have come to expect either from the uninformed or the intitutionally misinformed, as in the products of the training agencies. The level of ignornace in basic dive gear out ther among the seasoned "industry" people is stunning to me, and we need to resist the temptation to get personal with the victims of this and focus on the nitty gritty. The Halcyon wing question is an obvious , which I think Tucker answered - you could play nose tackle in those wings and not break them. The size qustion is bullshit - you need the "55#" ( which is really about 40 pounds of lift) for doubles, and there is a tiny one for singles. You need two differnet wings, but the same harness works. I did not see the other silliness, but it is dificult to talk turkey with a buzzard - this guy does not have the abc's down, there is no point getting into too much mishmash with him. The computer isssue is simple - they don't work, they are ridiculously expensive, and what you really need is some deco software with which to tutor yourself into an unerstanding of decompressions. As with everything else in this game, the money is best spent wisely and at the end of the day you have better gear and more of it. This "Akula" guy is nothing but the victim of a pathetic dive instruction situation. If you want to hammer somebody , hammer ths strokes who teach this baloney.
