I still don't know what caused this, but I had some puncture in one of my wings over the past week.

Looks like a typical pinch flat...

Been diving with mantis shrimp? 
A can easily be configured many ways, common sense is the only limit to how many and where D rings you have/use. I use an H set up with a chest strap with ”T” bars connecting the chest straps to the waist belt, I use Zeagle weight pockets like the ranger has on the back, if I wanted easily adjustable webbing I can add that but once set up, like any b/c I never adjust it.
a good take anything bp/w can be set up at about 1/2 the cost of a quality b/c and easily repaired from bits from many sources rather than proprietary parts.
I have used a SP knight hawk extensively, a Zeagle Ranger and a Hydros, all good tough gear. Overall the bp/w is a better investment of $ toward dives but no need to ditch those good b/c’s in favor of one but it’s really worth looking at when you need a replacement..

That is a snake bite. Luckily you got out alive.
Sea snake. Did you survive?

I tried doing a little bit of research on Sea Snakes and Diving:
www.nature.com
Based on the distance of the "bite marks" (assuming that's what caused the holes), that must have been a larger snake.
Mistaken identity may explain why male sea snakes (Aipysurus laevis, Elapidae, Hydrophiinae) “attack†scuba divers - Scientific Reports
Scuba-divers on tropical coral-reefs often report unprovoked “attacks” by highly venomous Olive sea snakes (Aipysurus laevis). Snakes swim directly towards divers, sometimes wrapping coils around the diver’s limbs and biting. Based on a focal animal observation study of free-ranging Olive sea...

The heads of the Hydrophis ornatus, which is the species we have here in the Gulf of Oman, aren't big enough to make puncture marks on that part of a wing, (I hope). The two holes are exactly one inch apart.
