I am today diving with a AGIR SS BP and Blackbird 16 l (36 lbs) wing.
When I am diving tropical with AL80 in my 2/3mm wet I am a little bit too heavy without any weights other than the plate and STA (~4 kg combined).
Therefore I have been looking at some lighter BP and put myself up for an Freedom plate.
I also need a wing to match the Freedom plate, I see many recommend the VDH #18 wing but I like to try to find a wing that I can get inside the EU so I don't need to haggle with the import fees.
First question is about what size wing i should look for. I am 183cm (6') tall and about 100kg. Today my ~4kg plate is just a tad to heavy, so i think about 2.5-3.5 kg plate+weights will be fine.
I was thinking 18-25 lbs wing would be nice, can 18 lbs be too small? I don't want to have more than I need.
The other question is if anybody can recommend any wing in this size span that is well built and reasonable prized inside the EU, I like my blackbird but the smallest blackbird is 12 l (28 lbs) and I think maybe a smaller wing will fit me better for tropical diving, also the Blackbird don't have any slots for cambands, which I understand can be good to have when using the Freedom plate.
