    heliox

    Diverite Transpac II

    hey cybordolphin, Well, I have to tell you that I took the cumberbund off - I find it very restrictive and annoying, I also removed the weight pockets promptly - just don't care for them... The Rec wing is pretty much for a single - although you can dive it with a double set if you want -...
