Single Tank Wing Opinions

[KOMPRESSOR]

I only use 12L/200 bar, 30 is sufficient for me.

I agree! Especially if you use a trilam suit. Many of these american dudes use aluminium tanks, and that turns all our european ideas upside down

Another vote for the Dive Rite Venture wing. I've used it with everything from AL80's to steel 120's and found plenty of lift.

With the steel backplate I was able to drop a lot of weight (lot more than the six lbs of the plate). In one suit/tank combo that I use often, I went from 24 to 12 lbs. I guess the padding of my old BC had a lot of flotation built in.

I also have a Dive Rite backplate and rec wing. I use it with a 108 steel tank and compressed neoprene drysuit. works great and no air trapping problems.

If it helps at all, here's a list of wings (at the bottom of the page below BP's) that I've put together along with some of their features.

Personally I've used a DR Venture and a Halcyon Pioneer 27#. Both nice wings, but my preference leans toward the Pioneer. I like the inflator and how small it folds up for traveling (about a 2x4x6" package)

Have fun deciding

Aloha, Tim

Probably more lift than you're looking for, but I'm diggin my Oxycheq 45# Signature. I'd imagine the 30# is just as good.
