PhilEllis:... I don't think it will meet the needs of the extended range technical divers...
Why not? - It would appear to be about the same as the Halcyon Explorer 55 (with 5 lbs more lift)

Yeah... nothing too serious.Stephen Ash:Not too shabby.
Looks like a few mods might be in order, though.

These aren't about to become the DIR wings to get, for a variety of reasons. First, the steel cord inside the pull dump isn't necessary so there's no need to have that complication. Second, the right-side OPV/dump valve/hole on the doubles wing is not necessary so there's no need to have that there either. Plus the inflator looks pretty long. And of course the lower D-ring on the singles wing would have to go.
That being said, they look like fine wings for anyone going to a bp/w. I'd love to see one in person... my local shop is an Aqualung dealer so hopefully they will get a few in for me to check out.
