Has anyone used a "deluxe" harness on a Halcynon backplate, and if so which brand? As far as I can tell Halcynon only sells the one piece 2" webbing. Thank You, Pete

Sorry in advance to the repetitive nature of these kinds of questions (I did search before posting for something that answers my questions.) I am having analysis paralysis with choosing my first scuba setup and could really use some help picking my BC. I know I can just buy a full halcyon setup...

I purchased the Hydros Pro a year ago. I've had about 30 dives on it. Overall, I'm satisfied with it. When I was doing research, most of the reviews I saw were glowing. But now reading deeper, I see there's a lot of negative opinions about it...I have noticed it rolling on me, but nothing...

Hi all, I've been diving a couple years with my first BP/W, a Hog Single, and it has been great. Yesterday, I was out and about to shore dive in a cove to go check out a wall, all the equipment plugged in, and I turned on the air and my bladder started to fill up. Checked all my cabling and...

I have bunch of scuba gear for sale, all nearly or completely brand new. If it’s been used, it’s splashed on 8 dives or less. 

Sometimes, life throws you wrenches instead of curveballs… And you sell your scuba gear to get by. Not happy about it, to say the least. I had just passed GUE...

SOLD SB, I am getting back into diving now that I live closer to the water and I obtained a SS OMS BP. I am looking to buy a wing for this setup and I wanted to see what was out there. This is my first time with a BP and I went ahead and put together a simple harness. The BP also came with a...

Like the title says, I'm a broke college student with an inconsistent income and expense schedule. I did PADI OWD two years ago and bought all my skin diving stuff from my LDS. I was close to pulling the trigger on a Suunto Zoop Novo that the owner was really hot to sell me but I decided to...

Hi, Newbie here considering BPW setup - I see a lot of people mention that it reduces lead due to the weight of the steel backplate. However, if I am a vacation diver and want to travel as light as possible - doesn't that mean I'm carrying that weight in my luggage instead of adding the weight...

XDeep Zeos 28 wing with "deluxe" harness and aluminum backplate. Single-tank adapter included, as well as (removable) XDeep weight pockets, Halcyon trim pockets on the tank strap, and an unassuming-looking UTD knife. Bought in 2014-ish. $300 obo. We'll split the shipping cost (UPS Ground), or...

My bcd finally died after a few thousand dives. I've been kicking around the idea of a bpw combo. I'm. A dive master and get keyman pricing on scuba pro but I haven't see much good feed back on their tec line. My budget which is very little since I've worked 14 days since covid is pretty...

Hello, I am looking to buy my first BPW setup and the Scubapro wings got my attention. I grew up diving scubapro gear so I am a little biased; my dad had a classic BCD that worked flawlessly for 30 years if not more. I am looking at "Scubapro X-Tek Donut Wing Single Tank 30 Lbs" which has the...

Have a BP/W setup which I no longer use. It's about 5 years old. Dove with it for 2 years, about 25 dives, and then it has sat in my garage for about 3 years. It's in great shape. SS backplate (don't know the mfg) DiveRite Deluxe Harness with a bunch of Drings HOG 32# wing (holds air) Double...

Currently Ive been having issues with buoyancy. How much lift do most of y’all require when you are diving doublke HP133s? I’m curious as to whether my wing does not have enough lift or, its bad fit for my tanks, with my aluminum back plate and no weight belt. I have a dive rite horseshoe...

Hi folks, quick question for you. When using a BPW and single tank adaptor, do you make sure that the tank cam straps pass through all parts of your rig? Eg through the plate, wing and STA or are you happy with it just passing through the STA? I ask as I've found certain manufacturers holes...

I just need to jump in hear to say thanks to Golem Gear. I placed my order and within 1 week I had my gear. Also I scoured the internet relentlessly looking for quality gear that at the same time wasn't going to break the bank. Having found out about GG here on scuba board I did my research...

A few weeks ago a friend told me that he could cut a plate for me using a water jet machine, and that got my wheels turning on designing my own DIR style backplate. I took to the Inter-web and found Huw Porter's design, and made an AutoCAD file based on his, then went to modifying it as I...
