Hi all,
So, I am pretty much ready to take the BP/W plunge. In fact, I am basically ready to buy the DSS single tank rig complete. But, as is often the case, I have a few reservations.
First, what I think I like about the DSS rig:
1 - Weight plates (I dive cold and need a lot of weight). The weight plates seem like a great design.
2 - Wing with outer tough shell layer.
3 - No STA needed.
4 - The favorable responses here and elsewhere and the simplicity of using a "whole system" that works together well.
And my only reservation:
1 - The DSS wing is a horseshoe and not a donut.
In light of my only reservation, I have been considering an Oxycheq Signature or a Halcyon Eclipse. I really like what I have read about the DSS plate. I would like an adjustable (non-Hog) harness, and the DSS pro-fit seems right on. Basically, I would order a DSS single tank rig tomorrow if the wing were a donut, or if I could convince myself that the DSS wing would perform just as well as a Pioneer, Eclipse or Oxycheq Signature 30.
So, there it is. What would you do? Get a DSS plate/harness and an Oxycheq wing? Or a full DSS rig? Or a Hammerhead plate with Oxycheq wing?
Is the donut shaped wing the only way to go, or is the DSS horseshoe wing just as good as the other single-tank wings?
Thanks for any input.
