two types of bungees
There is also a third setup for bungees its is used on the OMS Deep Ocean 2.0, seen below. This setup has the bungee internal to the wing but external to the bladder, they say it is to limit the lift capacity (48-60lbs lift) by restricting how much the bladder can expand, OMS also markets this as a hybrid wing for use with both Singles and Doubles. In my experience the wing is too large for the following single tanks sizes AL63, LP72; I have also used it with a HP100 and it was okay. I dont like how far away from me the lower dump valves are when on a singe back gas. I havent tried doubles as I dive sidemount most of the time. but I also changed out the Deep Ocean 2.0 for a smaller wing the OMS 32lb Performance Mono Wing, Im not too sure when Ill get it in the water but Im looking forward to doing it soon.two types of bungees.
If you are shopping for a single tank wing, very few of those will have bungee on them and most of the newer designs are pretty narrow to begin with so there is no need for them.
I halfway disagree. When I was strictly a recreational diver, I bought a used OMS Trieste "bondage" wing paired with an OMS semi-BCD-style harness, and I used that rig in a single-tank recreational setup with an AL80 tank. It ruled. Ultra-stable, easy to orally inflate, zero tacoing...and the integrated weight pouches were Teh Awsum. The only downside was the rig being kinda bulky out of the water. I halfway regret selling it.two types of bungees. One is a really not great choice and is synonymous with OMS, also referred to as bondage wings. <snip> You can see that it has slots for tank straps though and it was also used for single tank diving and it is exceedingly stupid to try to use one of these on anything other than a big set of doubles where the tanks can help keep the wing contained.
