Which Wing & Why?

[Noel Johnson]

Dive rite rec wing with Portland oceaneering type 2 stainless steel back plate and Portland oceaneering harness. The harness has taken a lot of messing about with to get it set up properly, but it now works an absolute treat.

When on holiday/teaching I still use the Seac Sub jacket style BCD that I learnt in.

CD wing  BP and Harness for heavier stufff, and a travel wing and TP11 for scubydooing..

<font color='#000F22'>I maybe getting this completetly wrong in terms of what you do when you twin up some holiday tanks but both my Halcyon plates have slots for cam bands. Otherwise Drifty couldn't use it for singles when he finds out that his plate didn't have any!

Not three sets of slots like these they dont:



Any one for a triple set &nbsp;

Blimey Mark, I know you've on about been getting age-related aches &amp; pains but taking a chair down with you is starting to take the biscuit.

Then again you could get a motorised wheelchair, add little wings to the rear wheels, bit of blu-tack to seal the electrics et voila! No need to fork out for a scooter..

If you didnt have that cushey light weight rebreather M8 and you had to fly a set like this, you woyuld need a wheel chair too

Yes beleive it or not there is a wing burried behind that lot:

This is how I prefer to use it for twins:

And this is my normal singles rig:

I put the tourch there to balance the pony and I have the pony necklesed in the same way as I do for a twin set. I dont use an octo.

I often dive independent twins when abroad and find Buddy Twiining bands and blocks, when properly used, perfect for the job. Where manifolded sets have been available (eg Bikini) they are invariably banded so the twin camband system still works. The weigt allowance on the plane to Bikini is so small (10kg) that I had to but an extra seat for my luggage.
Checked-in weight is an issue for me - so no steel (or ali) backplate I’m afraid.
