I was wondeing what rig would be good, i am looking at OMS 60 LBS bladder and was wondering what size is common when running steel 95's or larger. I am intrested in getting into tech diving but would like to get some equipment first and i was going to start with my BC rig and i am looking at OMS. Need some help guys where should i start and i know i have some classes to take that is for sure. But like i said i would like to get some of my equipment first. Thanks and please respond it will all be helpfull.
 
We will need some additional information to help you. First are you planning on diving with double 95's? If this is going to be a singles rig 60lbs of lift will be way more than you will need. Try a 30 or 40 lbs lift wing depending on the rest of your gear congig.
 
IMO you should be looking at 50-55lb wings. 30-40lbs isn't enough to keep your head above water on the surface with big steel cylinders. Anything more is overkill. Stay away from the bungees:11: .

I guess I should re-think my 38lb wing and my double 130's then LOL
