I was just coaxed into test diving a BP/W set-up at Casino Point this weekend. The rig I used is a new one made by DeepSeaSupply of Pasadena, CA. I was impressed with the build quality of the backplate and wing (a single 30# lift double-bagger) I used. It is a non-Hogarthian rig (a plus in my mind) whose quality seemed to exceed some of the Halcyon gear I've seen.
I only did one dive so far on it. Hard to really evaluate it based on that, but they left a rig for me to dive with later this week. It did not have the same tight fit as my X-Tech soft backpack and wing, but it may have been the way the rig was set up. However, its quality and comfortable fit topside makes this a rig I'll test again!
