Hi everyone,
I've gotten into technical diving over the last year-and-a-half or so, and now I've gotten to the point where I dive with twin steel 98s, and usually one steel 46 deco bottle and one al80 stage bottle. For the moment, I'm staying in the 180 ft range.
I'm currenlty diving with the dual bladder 100 lbs bungeed OMS wings. The one thing I do know, is that I don't like these wings. I'm not altogether against bungees, but I think the OMS bungee design is quite poor (I much prefer the Dive Rite design). I also find that 100 lbs is way too much for the type of diving I do. I am now looking to change my wings, but I don't know what to replace my current ones with. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
Like I said, I have nothing against bungees inherently, but I also would have no objections to unbungeed wings. I think my main uncertainty is the lift of the wings. A lot of people have told me that 55 lbs is enough, but I'm skeptical. Is 55 lbs really enough for the type of diving I described above?
Anyways, thanks in advance for your input.
