I am currently doing SM technical cold water wreck diving using a Dive Rite Nomad JT. I use a DUI CF 200 drysuit with weazle style underwear. I am diving with Worthington HP100 tanks, an aluminum 40 stage, standard other technical gear (reels, etc). I am interested in some feedback from divers actually performing tech diving with the Razor 2 in cold water with HP steels.
My current rig is very well balanced, I am only using about 12 lbs of lead currently. I am not unhappy with the JT, just find it a little bulky and shoulder lift oriented. I have no lift issues with my current setup and run my wing only half inflated at depth with full tanks. I have customized my JT quite a bit, including adding permanent weight pockets to the back of it which work very well.
The Razor also appears to push the buoyancy a little south which may help me drop a little more weight. I am confident on the lift being more than adequate but would just like to hear how others have found it to be in this type of diving. Does the bladder inflate in a big bulge? I would think it would based on the design. All comments welcome.
Thanks in advance
