New diver - questions and thoughts on BC setup

[uncfnp]

Bought my BC -

Wound up with an aluminum backplate, continuous webbing, and an Oxycheq 30 pound wing.

Plan to get in the pool next Saturday to get it all adjusted and practice taking off and on, both on the surface and underwater.

Thanks for all the help!

Dd you order cambands? And are you planning weight pockets or belt?

Yes, I bought cambands. The wing has a tank stabilizer built in, so I don't need an adapter. I plan to use a weight belt (should only need a few pounds with my 3mm wetsuit.)

I have the oxycheq 30 wing I dive with a steel backplate and tanks. Low profile, narrow so absolutely no taco effect. Virtually indistructable. Love it.

I have the 18, 30 and 40. I love the 18, really like the 30, luke warm on the 40.

If you are thinking on GUE/UTD training in the future. You better check what kind of weighting system is acceptable. I wear the weight belt under the crotch strap.
Have a nice trip.
