OK,
What about DiveRite and Halcyon
Andrew
Well to be a bit nicer, whoever said that was wrong, there are four main manufacturers of wings, Custom Divers, DiveRite, Halcyon and OMS. You will be hard pushed to find a real difference in terms of quality between them. There are generally various types in there range, aimed at subtly different applications / markets. If you want DIR then single bladder, no bungy. If you want to dive warm water in a wet suit then twin bladder for redundancy.
The bungy thing is a personal choice, I dive a DiveRite SuperWing, this is a dual bladder affair, it works. Mark (Chasey) has a CD wing, it also works. SteveW (aka Batman) has and OMS wing, it works and lastly Bob Cooper has a Halcyon one, and guess what, it works.
You need to think about what type of diveing you expect to get into, where you expect to dive, and if you intend to go down the DIR road, then that needs to be considered.
Don't be fooled by this mine's better than yours thing, they really are much of a muchness.
