i am putting together a BP/W rig which i want to be as flexible as possible. i want this meet the requirments of the most dive scenarios possible, specifically while traveling.
-> single HP-X8-130 wo/ adapter
-> doubles HP-X7-100
-> sidemount AL80
-> occasional monkey diving
the best rig i've come up with so far is an oxycheq/oms combo. i would mate the oxycheq travel backplate with an OMS doughnut single bladder BC.
OxyCheq Travel Backplate reviews and discounts, OxyCheq
OMS Single Bladder without retraction bands 32 lb. lift
will this do the job? could there be any conflicts between the two manufacturers? from the looks of things, both will accomidate cam straps without a STA. and finally, what should i do about a harness? i know the DIR folks will say make one yourself, but i'm a bit averse to just lashing together webbing and hardware!
