After looking through the different forums and such I keep coming across argon setups and am curious about them. From what I understand, Argon setups are used to insulate your dry suit. Is this correct?
Ok, some quick questions, I have two....
1. I am planning on buying a BP/W and for the wing, I plan to dive doubles and eventually will be probably getting into an Argon setup and I am curious about what the lift should be on my wing. I am going with a SS backplate and as noted above plan to dive doubles. I have seen many pictures and GUE and DIR setups where the Argon bottle is attached to one of the double tanks on the side, upside down. With the argon attached, would a 60 LB wing be enough for all of this? Dry suit one case and then wet suit another case minus the Argon naturally.
2. Also, if I decide to start bringing more tanks with me, say with an ArmadilloCCR side mount attached to my BP with two tanks, how much lift would be necessary? Dry suit diving and wet suit separately again.
I understand there is no exact answer to how much lift you will need but I am wondering since I don't want to buy a $300 wing and find out I need to buy another $300 wing to compensate for any tanks attached by a side mount. I'm just curious about whats the wing lift I should be looking at when buying a wing to accommodate all this. Also, if one wing isn't going to suit these cases, what would I need? Thanks.
