No, I'm KDA. Keystone Divers | Dudas Diving Duds LOVE the name, Jeez Evie....

Dove with the NYC Sea Gypsies twice, once with an old "Dive Chair" and once with a bunch of them on the Garloo. I think that you will find the gypsies to be quite fun, incredibly friendly, and a very inclusive group. Just drop in on one of their meetings.

There's a New York club that has a forum right here on SB. They travel a lot.

I had an OMS single bladder wing. Excellent quality. Dump valves, inflator hose, inflator assembly were all standard parts, DGX carried everything.

Bladder Flange Tool | Dive Gear Express®

With a bladder flange tool you could completely remove the bladder and replace / patch it yourself. OMS had PDF files showing you how to take everything completely apart and put it back together.

You can use the bungees or not, your choice. The cover was very heavy Codura nylon with a full zipper.

I thought was an A+ bit of gear. Learn to service your gear yourself and you're not at the mercy of anyone else.

I like the way the oms wing looks I think im gonna go with it. I also like the idea of being able to fix or repair it myself. thanks for the info.

Since DUI took over OMS and put Pete Nawrocky in charge of it I've heard nothing but good things. I have contacted him a couple times on behalf of OMS owners looking for service and parts. He's a friend and every time there has been a quick and successful resolution.
In the old days, due to their service (or absolute lack of it) the only people I'd recommend buy OMS products were people like Al Quaeda terrorists and US Congress Critters.

Thanks Jim, that means a lot coming from you. You could of told me they suck, and tried to get me to buy one of your wings. You are a stand up guy. (Not for nothing, but i already bought a wing from you. Thanks i love it.)

I have been diving my OMS BCDs since 1999 and have never had one single problem! As for the models I have owned I love the Tesseract 60 lb/ dual wing the best. If someone wants to sale theirs then please contact me.
