Dive Rite IQ pack

[blacksambellamy]

Let me be more clear this is what i got

backplate s/s $135.98
single tank adaptor w/cam band 113.95
100lb lift single bladder (black) 348.30
iq backpack 290.25

total 888.48


I know i could have bought it cheaper online. But my scuba shop lets you buy whatever you want with nothing down and you can use it whenever you want. The only catch is you have to bring it back to the shop after every use until its paid off. So i buy my stuff in the winter and by summer its paid off when im going to use it. Also no interest

I may be wrong...and if so I apologize...It seems you are just getting into this money pit. What do you need to balance with 100 pounds of bouyancy?!!

wow 100lbs of lift for a single tank. at the most a 45lbs. and use a single wing. all of OMS wings are for doubles unless you buy there single wing witch is only 30lbs or so. and its a doughnut shape.... you can use any single wing with the oms b/p. such as i have halcyon 45lb pionner wing. witch is also on the large size but i only had 2 two chose from. when i run double im going ot get the oms 45 maybe the 60 lb wing and thats a big wing. go smaller... if you are stuckon a double ing than go with the 45. bungied. I would also look into the bungied wings too. help from getting a big taco affect on the tank.

With a little fine tuning this is a sweet set up. I went with the plate.

The 100lbs wing is just way to big for a single tank, It turns you tank into a hotdog, and you will have trouble with air getting trapped. I am using a 40lbs wing for doubles and a 30lbs for single tanks and the single has no problems with lift even with a Ashi HP 120.

Here is the deal I got at my LDS
Alum BP and basic harness $50
Dive-rite venture wing $180
Deep outdoors #40 doubles wing $150
SS STA $40
Dive-rite 32# weight pockets $50
Two Dive right 7 led back up lights $45
