Hi all,

I am putting together my first set of gear.
So far I have,
DUI FLX50/50 Drysuit
Scubapro MK25/S600
and of course fins,mask etc

I am thinking about purchasing the Diverite backplate with Classic Wings. I've been renting a Diverite Jacket with Recwings but think I would like to have the backplate. The backplate is popular here.

The question-- Is $425 for a complete Diverite setup with single tank adapter and Classic wings a fair price? And is there any reason not to buy the Diverite rig?

Thanks,
DrDuktayp
 
The DR Classic wings are a wing for doubles.

You want their Venture wing, or a wing by Oxycheq or Halcyon.
 
FYI,
www.northeastscubasupply.com, down a little bit and on the right.

Labeled "DIVE RITE DEAL"

Dive Rite SS Backplate
Harness (Deluxe or Hagarthian)
Your choice of:
Classic Wing - 60 lbs. of lift
Rec Wing - 53 lbs. of lift -OR-
Trek Wing - 45lbs. of lift
(all wings come with power inflator)
All for ONLY $329.99

As people have already said, dont use the classic with a single tank. The Trek wing isnt really the best choice either. Go with the Venture... The above is to give you an idea for pricing on the DR stuff...
 
I appreciate the help. I DON"T want to be a taco! It also looks like 425 is a little on the high side. I have a few weeks before I can get any more toys. So, I'll keep reading the posts and learning.

Thanks again,
DrDuktayp

That's pretty good. I got AL plate with Venture wing for $360, but that included an STA and a pair of Zeagle's tank-mounted weight pockets.
 
while we are talking deals, have you though of the OMSstuff at all? Or is it condemned where you are. Here's another deal. Scroll down on the right. there are two specials. Keep in mind it is in canadian dollars
