bp/w

I am planning on starting to dive narrow D7 300bar tanks. With backplate and wing. I have found that I would need 18 kg(40’) lift capacity for the D7 set up, but struggling to find a wing suitable for so small doubles. Originally I thought I should purchase a Halcyon Evolve 40’ but this is the...

Hey there, So i've recently switched to a BP/W set up. I have the Stainless Steel Xdeep Zen with the ditchable weight pockets but one of the reasons I switched to BP/W is to get rid of the bulk around the waist for a cleaner set up and a potentially 'balanced rig'. I dive a single in a drysuit...

This kit is brand new and has never seen water! I purchased this from my local dive shop last year but have decided to go a different route. Purchase price $930 - HTS 2 Harness size SMALL - Stainless steel cam bands - 10lb weight system - S38 LX wing - 3/4" book screws **$550+shipping**...

Up for sale is a Hollis BP/W system which includes a stainless backplate, original S38 wing, HTS weight pouches, STA w/ stainless cam bands, Elite 2 Harness. This kit was dove 10 times in the Puget Sound and is in like new condition. Full disclosure, the webbing has been cut for a small female...

I'm looking to make the transition to my first BP/W and looking for a simple DIR setup. I was planning on buying the XDeep NX Zen but this second hand OMS looks pretty good (even though I'm not a fan of the color) and would be at least $200-300 cheaper. The only thing the seller has written in...

Alrighty then. I've managed to get irritated enough in about 15 dives to want my own gear (more or less) immediately. Like most of us, I have pockets that you can see the bottom of and want to choose wisely. I would consider myself an "advanced beginner" or "beginning advanced" due to...

XDeep Zeos 28 wing with "deluxe" harness and aluminum backplate. Single-tank adapter included, as well as (removable) XDeep weight pockets, Halcyon trim pockets on the tank strap, and an unassuming-looking UTD knife. Bought in 2014-ish. $300 obo. We'll split the shipping cost (UPS Ground), or...

Hello! I am fairly new to diving and was hoping you all with far more experience and knowledge would be able to help me out. I have a few questions. One is, which company has better quality gear and warranty should anything happen when it comes to BP/W, OMS or Halcyon Dive Systems? I have been...

For sale is a Hollis C45 wing. ($200) No know leaks, used for diving 2 weeks ago and had no problems. Very good conditon, please see pictures. Features: -Cam Band slots -Centrally located elbow to avoid tank/regulator interference -Lower Left Pull Relief Valve -Outer shell constructed of...

$100 for both. For sale is a set of integrated weight pockets for a backplate and wing setup. Each pocket holds a maximum of 10 lbs. In my opinion these are in very good condition, see pictures below. Buyer pays shipping or meetup in Lancaster, PA area. 20 lb (10lb each) integrated weight...

Hi there! It would be my first question here, didn’t find any answer on the net, so I try it here. :) I starting to buy my equipment and got a question about BP/W. (I’m aiming for recreational diving, nothing too technical. ;) ) Is it possible to change a simple elbow joint on a corrugated...

My wife has been diving a Zeagle Lazer BC in cold water and a Zeagle Scout BC in the tropics for years. At some point she noticed how much smaller my gear packed up and said "why don't I have one of those". She also noticed how much less lead you have to pack on to a BPW. It wasn't cheap but I...

Hey guys, Got myself a lovely new BP/W system which I can’t wait to get using. Been a long term jacket BCD user, and although the pockets on them are awkward as hell - they are at least still pockets... Just trying to map out the logistics of what will go where. I’m using a DIR harness and no...

Question says most of it! What’s the best single tank 30# wing you’ve ever used and why?

Hey guys! Looking to get into a BP/W setup :). Currently using a jacket style BCD (currently an Aqualung Axiom I3 & Aqualung Legend LX Supreme regs (DIN)). I'm PADI AOW, and stopped logging dives at around 500, but currently sat somewhere around 800-1000. In terms of the diving I currently do...

I have a Deep 6 30# wing for sale, brand new, never used. Purchased as part of group buy but one person backed out and never paid. (I'm willing to ship outside of the continental US, but will need to charge for shipping)

Recently purchased a Hollis Solo harness and backplate (Aluminium and Stainless), amazing clearance deal. This is for my change into diving with a backplate and wing, also my first setup I own myself. Now I’m looking for a wing and need any advice on decent wings and the appropriate wing lift...

I am ready to upgrade from my first BC to a low profile/travel friendly BP/W BC and have narrowed it down to 3. As I live in Pennsylvania and prefer to dive in warm water, I have to travel to dive and I have also started to dabble in UW photography so also being streamlined and light are key. I...

Hey guys, I am looking for some advice in regards to getting a bp/w. I am currently diving with a Aqua Lung Pro HD, which I really think is to bulky and gets in the way while spearfishing. It has served me well, and I had a really good deal on it, but I would like to get an upgrade. I have...

Hi All, I've lurked around a bit and posted here and there in years past, but have long since forgotten my credentials, so here's my 'first' post. I'm looking to switch from my current 12yr old setup to a more streamlined BP/W and possibly DIR rig and looking for some advice on a few things. I...
