Hi there,
I just got my s38 wing and am wondering, what else do I need to get this rig in the water? I have:

-s38 wing
-Elite 2 harness
-Soon will have AL bp

If it makes a difference I dive dry in fresh water. I am currently switching over to a BpW to prepare for my tech 40 class.

Any input is appreciated, thank you.

tank straps x 2

what BP? The slots in Hollis wings don't always line up with the slots in other brand backplates in which case you will need an STA.

Cam bands. A crotch strap if the harness doesn't come with one.

For tech 40, do you need double tank? If so S38 isn't a double tank wing.

Why an AL BP, and not SS?

Do you need an integrated weight system?

simply because I don't have very much lead on me for diving dry. So, Stainless might weigh me down too much with all of my gear. But, in the future Ill have both eventually.

and Will that weight system work with hollis? Do the straps just thread through them?
