Are the Super Wings too much?

[MechDiver]

Call people Nazis is pretty pathetic. It just minimizes what really took place decades ago. Find another name to insult people. Calling people a$$holes just goes to show that the ones accusing DIR people of hurling insults are just as guilty if not more so.

Tech diving without an thorough understanding of displacement is just plain dangerous.

We're all wasting our time with these two. My Ignore Poster bucket runneth over. Maybe I need one of those 100lb wings

Oh, and I'm not DIR.

I should hope not.

My opinion is not wrong because an opinion cannot be wrong, No where in my first post did I say anything other than what I thought would be a better option for him. In fact here is my first post: “In my opinion having a little more lift than you might need right now is very beneficial. I have dual bladder OMS 100lb cells. As your tanks get bigger and you carry more gear, you will want bigger air cells, trust me... Better to buy a little more now even though you may never need it, then to buy less and than buy again somewhere do the road. Super wings are great and the Transpac is an excellent harness. SS is the way to go, but give the wings a serious look and plan for your future diving just a bit...” You guys tore into me for my opinion. I stated that I thought he should go with the bigger wings and SS BP nothing more. My errors may have come into play when we got into the logistics of buoyancy and displacement. I looked back through my PADI open water text and nowhere did I read anything about displacement vs. buoyancy. Good luck.

McDiver isn't that a new sandwich at McDonalds?

My 104s pump to 2700 with an AL backplate is 31# negative. That includes regs. Adding two more steel 104s (btw, they are essentially the same as the E8-130s. Just a small difference on how negative they are. Why anyone would dive 4 E8-130s is beyond me. You won't arrive at the numbers you claim. Do yourself a favor and buy a fish scale. Go weigh the rig and report back with your findings.

I could buy a fish scale, or I could tell you to keep adding. manifold , backplate, can light, reals. Fins ( there negative too) as you can see , it will add up to about 80# negative.

The key word is ABOUT, But I'm sure your 55# wings can hold all that.

When ever you post my BS meter pegs. I can tell your about to post again. WARNING BS WARNING BS there goes that damn meter again LOL at you

I guess I should add a manifold to my doubles. I must have forgotten that piece. Nice try, but they are already on there. Now you may want that 100# wing if you decide you really can't make the dive without the kitchen sink.

You never know when you might need that as well... See those wings are looking better all of the time.
