<<  6) bungees or without bungees on bladder ? why ?  >>

I could iterate each reason but you might learn more from searching the archives
(http://www.aquanaut.com/bin/mlist/aquanaut/techdiver/subject) on the word
"bondage" or other relevant moniker.   Having used this wing myself before and
can vouch for the legitimacy of it's critiques.

<<  2) IATND recommanded a 22.5 kg lift bag,  i have a 25 kg lift bag
already
>>

Rule number one, don't look to IANTD for advice.    These are the same folks
that continue to promote deep air as a viable safe form of diving.    Is this
the kind of credible advice you are looking for in an agency?    Start at the
Halcyon site (http://www.halcyon.net/mc/05mc.shtml) and then follow the link for
whichever wing you are interested in.   The appropriate lift advice can be found
there.

<<  8) i feel that the Harothigan method is very comprehenisve but i've
been
thinkning on the issue of the bungees. with bungees ,  >>

Get the DIR II video from Extreme Exposure
(http://www.extreme-exposure.com/dir-vhs.shtml) and this will answer most of
your questions.   In it George specifically demonstrates the answer to this
question.

Hope this helps,
Tod
