Hi everyone. I am new to this board and like what I see here. I have been diving for 6yrs and am looking into upgrading my skills and equipment. I will be diving single alum.80 in rec limits most of the time, but would like to get into some tech diving in the future. After much research,I have decided on b/p and wings as I like the DIR style and would like to follow that diving system. With that in mind I have some questions to ask b/p divers out there.
Is there some place to buy the webbing by the foot rather than a harness from Halcyon, EE or Dive Rite for $45 (this seems high)? If so, how much webbing does it take for 6ft 190lb person using a 6 mil. wet suit? What are the size of d-rings and what are the keepers called that hold them? Best place to get them?
I am also looking at getting the new Halcyon 27lb pioneer wing with the built in STA and will decide on a wing for doubles after training. I was told that the new Halcyon wing won't fit other plates or their older plates as the built in STA bolts up different. Is this correct? I can't imagine them building somthing that won't fit even their own plates of last year.
Sorry this is so long, lots of questions not very many answers.
