<font color='#0000FF'>Hello James,

I have a CD TBD which I now use for 3 years and found it great. If you dive wet I think it would be a sensible idea to go twin bag, if you dive in a drysuit all time this is not a problem. Also with CD use a CD backplate or similar as it's center part is bend towards the diver (not like OMS, Halycon and others) and would not need to use SLA attachment for single cylinder diving. Also like the way the wing can be bolded to backplate with a single cylinder.

Regards

Pierre

<font color='#0000FF'>Hello,

My mistake it's STA single tank adapter &nbsp; &nbsp;Also about the OMS backplate, only the new ones have slots in them, how old is yours?

Regards

Pierre

Bought my bladder/harness/Ali BP as a package in about Feb 2002 from DWH, not sure if the BP has slots in it as I use it with the IQ harness, I'll have to check at home tonight

<font color='#32CD32'>I mostly use a Custom Divers TDB wing and a Custon Divers Harness, I recently purchased an OMS wing and harness for recreational holidays and pool training.

Like them both.

Not really looking for a conversation going 'Wing A is better than Wing B', just interested what people ACTUALLY dive.

I dive a custom divers TDB wing but I have re-configured the harness slightly so I clicked the last option.

<font color='#0000FF'>Buddy TRIDENT for me, i'm afraid.

I wasn't allowed to dive one day as i had no surface buoyancy and my suit wasn't acceptable ,,,, so i ran down the LDS and all they had was a trident.

Expensive dive that was .
