I'm a recreational diver in Northern California. I dive in a 7mm wet suit and use a PST 95 tank. I recently acquired a SS back plate and am close to purchasing a Halcyon wing and a single tank adapter. Will the 27 lb wing provide sufficient lift for my diving and equipment? I demoed a Halcyon system in September with a 27 lb wing and used 14 lbs of lead if that helps any. To compound the previous question, the STA that I'm going to buy is the steel one that Scott Koplin makes. I am considering getting the one that he melts the lead into and weighs about 6 lbs. That leaves me wearing only 8 lbs of ditchable weight. So I guess the first question is, Is 27 lbs enough lift for me with a normal STA? Second, If yes to question one, then would the 6 lb STA push me over the edge. And yes, I know that it would be better to dive dry, but one thing at a time.
