Deep six, new wing has some nice features

[lexvil]

I just picked up the new deep 6 stability 30 lb wing, no testing yet but I may check capacity in the pool tomorrow and it’s going to Curacao with me next week. Landon mention the low profile elbow he managed to equip it with, I assume it’s proprietary threading etc. but don’t know yet, so far it looks great and the elbow is very low profile, nice water resistant/repellant material, I don’t need 30 lb in warm water but it looks smaller than the rating …

A dive rite travel 25 lb for the comparison

Thanks Lex! My single tanks wings are currently in good shape, but the quick drying material makes me want to grab a couple to replace my current ones. I actually skipped a dive last year so my gear could dry before the flight home.

What do you think of that soft STA? I have one that looks identical on a different brand wing and was pleasantly surprised how something so small and "inconsequential" seemed to function perfectly.

Undecided on that at the moment but I have used a similar one in the past and they do tend to work very well, I may go with a conventional STA this trip.

Hey Lex, is the roll control device in the middle removable?

It is, held on with Velcro straps

The inflator elbow seems quite similar to the new Mares Ergo inflator.

It does look similar so now Landon can let us know if it would work as a replacement

Is the dump valve also a custom threading? If so, would be really awesome if Deep6 could also make a DSMB with the same dump valve, I've always liked the ability to use your SMB to fix a broken wing dump valve in a pinch.

Don’t know
