Hello,
I was talking talking to my friendly LDS, who is a Halcyon Dealer, today about some things with my tanks and GUE fundamentals came up... I initially said I don't want to buy new gear to become DIR, but am maybe backing off of that a little bit as I have wanted a plate and wing for a few years now. Today was the first time in this particular LDS and they were fantastic, so I do want to support them, I just can't justify spending that kind of money on a new Halcyon setup at the moment.
Here's my usual 'profile', I normally dive my PST steel 120 and 80cf with a full 3mm farmer john wetsuit, zeagle escape etc. I usually wear around 6-8lbs in saltwater.
I really like the look/feel/construction of the Halcyon rigs, but I can't bring myself to pay $700 for a single tank eclipse setup. I have looked at the Oxycheq stuff online, but have never actually seen one up close and personal.
So, who makes your favorite wing?
I was thinking a Dive-Rite Aluminum plate with an Oxycheq harness and 30lb single tank wing. (if the oxycheq wing will fit on the Dive-Rite harness, I don't know).
I want this setup to be DIR, or close to it.
Any suggestions or opinions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
