In our area we seem to constantly find feet washing up on shore (currents) and it annoys me when it becomes a spectacle instead of a tragedy (recent case involved a suicide). Anyway I understand now what you meant...

Wow. I had mentioned some of my issues with points in this thread and you suddenly think they were all directed at you...and you call ME insecure. Take a deep breath please and try to follow. My criticism of not providing context was directed at the drive-by poster, not you. Oh and because...

Kate--can you please point out where I was strongly objecting to much of this thread's contents. I didn't like the idea of overfilled 120s, I suggested that the 40 was an okay choice but not a -poor- one, and I defended the dive shop as I have experience with them. In a another thread (started...

Whatever. If SB has an ignore function you're first on my list. EDIT--well since you have some protected status the 'ignore list' isn't an option. How unfortunate.

Your reading comprehension in regards to this situation appears to be just as bad. Can you imagine if everyone dropped in equipment threads with responses like 'I use that reg'. Anyway it's obvious we see this differently, however I'll leave out the ad hominem.

That was exactly the type of response I expected from you so thanks for not disappointing. This thread started with the OP asking about assistance selecting gear that was appropriate for his needs (actually there was a prior thread with more specifics). The comments I made were regarding a...

If indeed that was your goal then adding more information would be useful (your exposure protection/etc), otherwise it comes across as a crass response especially considering your choice of 'smiley'.

Hopefully all the warm water women who no doubt will be searching for this thread in the future will find this factoid useful considering that the original poster has very little in common with you.

Part of the issue depends on how important you feel that it is for your wing to float at the surface if you ditch it. In some configurations (minimal weightbelt, ACB pockets with total of 20 lbs, stainless steel backplate and weighted STA) a 30 lb wing won't have enough buoyancy. The same wing...

I've had a 'runaway' wing once. It was with the wing that came with my 'Jet Harness' (I mentioned how crappy purchase decisions cost a lot in the long run). I added a puff of gas to my wing and it kept on filling. While holding open the exhaust valve on the inflater (which almost seemed to...

Great...I guess my new Fusion Bullet is going to my wife now.

With all this discussion you'd think we were talking about bungied dual bladder wings. There is so little difference between my Halcyon 30 and 40 pound wings I have no idea what the problem is. My Oxycheq 40 lb wing is even smaller than both Halcyon wings. Considering Francis' location (which...

The dive shop he is referring to will NOT try to sell him a doubles wing. Also, unlike Florida, getting a 'good' fill in Canada (even less likely--Quebec) on a LP 120 is impossible unless you own a compressor. You'll be LUCKY if you end up 120. You also missed that he was planning on diving...

I agree that 30lbs should be adequate however shops prefer to minimize inventory. When I was diving double HP100s (no stages), I never had an issue with my old Evolve 40. Until my lower back allows otherwise I'm diving single 100 or 130s with a 30lb wing. Unlike some other divers I don't need...

When you add up everything over the span of your diving 'career' (which will hopefully be a long time), I think you'll come out ahead versus those of us who had to go through several different configurations. Worst case, the Halcyon equipment should have better resale value if you decide that...

If you're ever up for some diving in the Parksville/Nanoose area let me know.

If Halcyon would have kept their original (non-padded) backplate cover I suspect they'd have an easier time marketing the Infinity. I remember a ?Poseidon? harness that had enough padding to likely necessitate at least five additional pounds of lead. Unfortunately the padded backplate comes...

Easy there...I wasn't referring to your post, but another that recommended the 'basic system' and 'no additional padding required'. Of course there is still the issue that the original poster is asking about a product that nobody other than myself (in this thread) has used.

Some of the answers here are typical...for people who are unfamiliar with the Infinity System. It's not about padding--technically it's optional. I like the padding because it keeps the webbing from being too 'limp' and makes donning easier--it's also kinder to my Fusion. The cinch works...

Can we have danglies banned from SB advertisements?
