My wife and I were talking over lunch today about doubles wings and why there are different lift capacities on the wing. We have seen wings with 55 lbs of lift and then we have seen wings with 100 lbs of lift. She was wondering why someone would use a 55 lb wing vs a 100 lb wing or vice versa. Not being a technical diver I did not have an answer for her but figured someone here could answer her question. Something that we were thinking about would be either the size of the tanks or the amount gear a diver needed to carry would probably be the determining factor on lift capacity. I was thinking things like stage bottles, redundant gear and so on.
Thanks in advance.
