tekwing weights

hi , iv got a new tekwing i bought it with intergrated weights , the waist band on the wing slides through buddys own intergrated system .
iv removed mine as didnt think the clips to hold the pouches were up to scratch, have u got the buddy intergrated system with yours , if not and u wanted intergrated id be tempted to go for custom diver pouches , if u wanted buddys own give me a bid on mine .
also after buying the wing i found out u cant put a stainless backplate on it
expensive mistake . saying that it works quite well with a single used it in ejypt no tank wrap , did everything i asked from it, but will have to buy twinning cambands from buddy to get it on twins , such is life.
hope this helps

Cheers. It came with the buddy twining bands, but at the moment it will be used for a single cylinder.

Will try it with the buddy weight pouches ( as they were also included), If it dont work will look at the custom diver ones.

Twin up for scapa. Paul and I were doing around 15 -20 mins deco average when we dived it last. You need time to explore the beasts properly, which means deco, which means twins IMO. Having that extra gas gives you the time and the confidence. And you have the same amount of kit on as if you were on a main and a pony but with twice the gas volume. Do it. And still get rid of those fooking split fins.................

Yes.

What you need to do it slide them gently into the nearest bin and use a P-weight, V-weight or weight belt.

Integrated weights are the work of the devil.

I was going to use them with the optional kit clips to keep a liftbag/ dsmb and a back up torch. I have a very nice weight harness for weights.
