Buoyancy Compensators (BC's) and Weight SystemsPoint your weighty "BC" questions and input here. Tell others what you use and what you do and don't like about it etc...
I'll throw in a 'Call Tobin' as well. When I was moving to doubles he spent 30 minutes on the phone with my helping me understand the lift properties needed for my application. He will definitely help you get the right wing for you.
I was so impressed with his doubles set up I sold my BC and replaced it with a DSS singles wing. The streamlined singles is amazing compared to anything else I've used.

There is a feature on our website called the "Rig Configurator" that allows users to select different combination's of plates and wings and harnesses, and provides the package price.
We do no have any "buoyancy calculators" I'm not a fan of these programs. I prefer the diver understand HOW the lift recommendations were determined, and not rely on a can program based on somebody's elses assumptions.

The LDS recommended the Torus 26 as what most people in the area dive. Though I like the easier tank valve access advertised for the LCD. I just feel more comfortable if I can reach back and manipulate the valve...
Quick question about this comment. Is there something about the torus that made you think it would be hard for your to reach your valves? I have a torus and have no problem at all reaching the valve.
Thanks,
Jason

I wondered about that comment too.

The comment was made on a bad assumption that because the LCD description mentioned "Narrow Top Arc for Easy Tank Valve Access, no Contact with the diver's head even when fully inflated" while the Torus did not, that this was one of the trade offs between the two models.

I thought it sounded strange with a calculator program, it didn't match my view of how you work.
