Hey guys,
Sorry in advance for another BPW thread but didn't want to jump in on someone else's.
I am looking for some advice on buying my first BPW.
Current set up is
UK Cold Water Diving
12l Faber Steel bottle
7.5 Semi Dry
5mm Hood & Gloves
10kgs of extra lead
6ft 3
97kgs
I am thinking a Finnsub or DTD setup but not sure on the wing size 30lbs or 40lbs. Dont want to have the 40lbs if not needed but may make sence if I get into deco diving with one 10l or 7l alu stage cylinder. But that type of diving would solely be down to one trip a year.
My next question is would people recommend going for the 6mm SS backplate over the 3mm? The reason I am thinking the 6mm is I probably wont need much extra lead and the weight will be on my back.
I appreciate everyone's help in advance.
