Double AL 80s problem

[T-roy]

T...

I really don't understand your purpose in going in this direction..

If you really need the doubles ''curb appeal'' diving with a wet suit...you're much better off sticking with your steel cylinders...and investing in a double bladder wing...you'd be eliminating the positive buoyancy issues you're going to have with the 3AL 80's...and you'd be gaining redundant stability back-up that you'd normally be getting with your dry-suit...you already have the additional inflator hose...

What you're doing is regression...not progression...

It's taken two pages of posts to get you to measure your center/center...I'm not holding out much hope for the double bladder wing...

Proceed...

W.M...

The purpose....I have them and I want to.....no" curb appeal"...sometimes I prefer diving wet.......Maybe in the future i will go with the double bladder and steels, we will see....I have the parts to put this rig together (well except for the correct bands) and ran into a problem and thought I would ask the kind people on scubaboard if they could help me solve the problem..and then you stepped in to flex you scubadiving superiority....And no....if you bother to read the first post you will see that,yes I did measure center to center...apparently you just didn't read it or just couldn't comprehend it..

LAST YEAR I GOT…
…a Dive Rite Dual-Bladder Rec Wing XT specifically for use in a TDI photo shoot. After four dives, I rinsed and dried it thoroughly, stored it partially inflated in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight…and haven’t used it since. As sitting on gear I will likely never use again is foolish, it’s for sale on eBay. These wings list for close to $600 new. This is as close to new as you are likely to get (but you can get it now for a lot less).

Where are you in NC (roughly east or west)?

I have bands for AL80s that I'll never use again.

Western NC...PM sent

I just realized that I may be a hoarder.................will PM back (from western NC) when I get a grip on the situation.

You tell him...

He's selling it because he got a set of al 80s...

You tell him...

wasn't telling him anything...was not subtle messaging or preaching...just passing something on. I don't know a lot of folks that like double bladder wings...most would prefer to just keep a lift bag handy for redundancy if diving wet, but some do. dive and let dive.
