| I moved from a BCD with single & pony to a backplate/wing & twinset without any issues. I took to the wing immediately. In fact I wouldn't contemplate diving with a BCD now unless there really was no alternative.
It's my guess that if you signed up for a DIR-F course, your instructor could sort out any issues you might have with a wing in no time at all.
If you sign up for any DIR stuff, you pretty much have to go with the kit they specify. I can't see anything wrong with that. If you object, there's plenty of other agencies you can take your business to. |
