Hi Steve, ----------- ... only one lot of expanding air needs to be dealt with on ascent. Using an "Auto-dump", even this air sorts itself out. ----------- I agree with this philosophy, and would if I could, but I can't. >I can't understand your "Michelin Man" comment. Unless you are over-weighted (unlikely from the sounds of it), *why* do you need to put so much air in your suit ??? I don't know. I am definitely not overweighted, at the end of a dive I have to drain everything to stay at 3m. It must be the change in buoyancy of the neoprene drysuit I use. Do you use a membrane one? >One of the big advantages I find with the Dive Rite wings over the Zeagles is that the hard backplate enables a very simple switch from a twinset to a single + pony. This involves just 2 wingnuts. I don't know of any other B.C. system that makes this so easy. Have you thought about how you are going to deal with this ? So far, I have seen nothing to equal the ease of use and flexibility of the AP Valves cam band system. I can strap up any cylinder combination from 5.5" dia to 8". I have seen them adapted for use on a Pony aswell. This, together with what I find is the better underwater trim of a Stab means that for me, the Stab and Wing combination is the best option.
