I wouldn't go for the Zeagle Tec BC system personally. If you are considering cavern and/or cave diving you should really considerr a backplate/harness/wing arrangement. I fell into this trap myself after buying a Dive-Rite Transpac II system. I now wish I had gone straight for a backplate and harness. I've thrown away the soft back pack of the Transpac together with the cummerbund and the bungees on the Recwing to leave a much more simple arrangement. However, it is still not satisfactory and I am currently putting together a one piece harness and backplate assembly to carry my 2x10L Faber steel tanks. Thisn system can be easily adapted for singles or doubles. Have a look at some of the DIR sites (Halcyon, Extreme-exposure, GUE, WKPP etc) and see how the DIR people are configuring their gear. I have learnt a great deal of useful stuff from these sites which I have been putting into practice here in the UK. Like you, I am a soon-to-be-trained cavern diver and my current set-up simply would not be acceptable as it is. Don't make the same mistake as I did. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Avtrent@ao*.co*> To: <techdiver@aquanaut.com> Sent: Monday, December 04, 2000 5:45 AM Subject: Wings n' things > Does anyone in the Group have a constructive opinion on the merits of the Zeagle Tec BC system vs. Dive-rite/ OMS/ Halcyon for a newcomer into this realm? Ex-Saturation diver, wreckdiver but soon-to-be-trained cavern diver looking for advice on a system to be used with singles or doubles, caverns, Eastcoast wrecks and Gulf rigs. No trimix diving anticipated, but an option down the road. Any comments before spending money on an unsatisfactory setup would be appreciated. > -- > Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. > Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'. > -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
