Diverite voyager vs travel wing

[Anthony A.]

Im using a zeagle 50d. The 1st stage is pointed down on the tank. Used it a few times upright but was too high for me.

Mounted with the dss wing, I felt it was a little crammed.

two options. One which is what I would personally recommend is getting the 5th port upgrade, and I am 95% sure that the Apeks kit will work on the 50d. That will give you better hose routing anyway. Those big first stages are really awkward to work with in single tank without a bottom port because they are really tall and I have a couple of wings with an offset elbow and it doesn't help my head that much if I'm using them. Take a pic with it if you can

I had actually thought about mounting the 1st stage horizontally and getting 90 degree ss elbows to attach the hoses to so they would still route horizontally. That would alleviate the wing issue, but then i am also introducing another element of failure with those elbows.

if you rotate it horizontally or mostly horizontally you only need one elbow, but I'd check to see if the Apeks adapter is compatible with the 50d since that will solve lots of problems

Despite t-bone's shilling for a particular company, I would suggest you just get the wing you want, which you have said is dive-rite. The travel wing is plenty of lift unless you are using a very thick wetsuit. Maybe they've really changed the voyager, but the older ones are huge for single tank diving. You'll probably be happy either way. I would get the wing that will work best for the majority of diving that you will do. If that's warm water, go with the travel.
