I am a new NAUI OW diver. I am registered for my AOW ( or whatever they call it) and am working towards rescue diver for some work assignments I have coming up (photographer). I have read the GUE DIR Fundamentals book as advised by my instructor and feel that a back plate wing config would be the best option for me and my goals.
I'm looking at getting it from Cave Adventurers and Leisurepro as they seem to have great prices on this stuff. Here's what I think I need:
Steel Backplate (Dive rite knock off) ($75 at CA)
Dive Rite Transplate Harness ($99 @ leisure Pro)
Dive Rite Cam Straps (set of 2) ($41 @ Leisure Pro)
Dive Rite Rec wing (50lbs lift used for single or double tanks) ($205 @ Leisure Pro)
Do i need any other important pieces? I was thinking about a back pad but not quite sure yet. I also thought of weight to reduce the weight in my weight belt would be a good idea, the one that goes into the channel on the backplate but could not find it on either site.
I just want to make sure that I don't forget any necessary parts or pieces as I don't think the wife will let me back into the coffers for a while after this purchase
