I am still uncertain about the wing that I am going to purchase so I was just wondering if anyone had any comparison pics of some specific wings so I could see what the actual size difference is.
I am primarily looking at the VDH 18, 23, and 35, but also at the DGX S1 (30).
While I plan on pretty much only doing some diving in tropical warm waters on vacation, I've also started to possibly consider doing some freshwater diving near me in driving distance to MD. But it would only be during summer months when the water is "warmer" than it is in the cold, so I think it would just be like maybe 5mm wetsuit, if that. I only have a 3mm right now anyways but I may need thicker for that type of diving.
But again, it's something I'm considering but haven't done yet or don't have any plans. It was also something I initially said no way to, but after doing some dives it could be fun to work on skills and just get wet a bit.
I REALLY don't see myself doing anything like drysuit diving or anything cold, at least not any time soon. So perhaps a heavier lift wing is completely unnecessary. But I don't know.
But because of that, I am not sure if I should just go with a "one size fits all" wing like the DGX or the VDH 35.
And that is kind of why I'm just wondering what the physical sizes look like when compared to eachother.
I saw a large Dive Rite wing in the store the other day, and while I don't know what the model of it was, it was way larger than something I'd like to use, especially if it's something I want to fit into a carry on.
So anyone have any comparison pics? Most of the pics I've seen thus far are just of single wings and it's hard to really get a feel for the sizes. Ideally if people have pics of them on people too that would help.
I have a large upper body with broad shoulders if that matters at all for size.
