In a way, this is sort of a sanity check in addition to information gathering....
Someone, sometime, once told me (doesn't all good SCUBA lore start out that way?) that when selecting the proper wing for a BP/W set up that the wing should be have enough lift to float your rig without you in it @ 85% capacity.
That said...
SS BP = 5.5 lbs
HOG Rig = 1.75 lbs
Single tank adapter = 1.5 lbs
Cam bands = 2 lbs
Full AL80 (in water) 1.4 lbs
Total = 12.15 lbs
This then would suggest that even a 17lb lift wing would be fine since 85% of 17 lbs is 14.45 lbs.
Does this make sense?
Thanks!
