It was only a 30m poodle over a 1000m sea bed so who says you can take too much equipment

P.S. A more permanent and secure repair was made using 2 cable ties on the boat after the dive.
It was a Halcyon wing and seems the problem was related to the clamp which just isn't tight enough  |
The morel of the tail is: if your going to buy crappy Halcyon wings make sure you take cable ties and gaffer tape with you every dive to hold them together.
Thanks for the heads up M8
