Well that settles it then:shakeheadUWupnorth:It would take me to long to explain all the reasons to not use one so the short answer is no. If you use aluminum tanks you should be able to swim them up.
PerroneFord:Just a few dives, notably on the Oriskany to a depth of nearly 130ft. I was diving wet, and I did not have redundant wings nor a double bladder. I did take a 50# lift bag. In this instance, I knew that we would have lines running from the surface, to the ship. I also knew that if need be, I could use the massive deck of the ship as a staging area to prepare my emergency buoyancy rigging.
PerroneFord:The double bladder wing had different areas it vented from. It had it's inflation hoses on opposite sides, and it would have gone against all my muscle memory and training. I chose to wear two bladders, one with an inflator hose about 6" longer than the other. Should I have needed to swap to the backup, everything was in a familar place, hose routing was the same and would need only have disconnected the quick disconnect inflator hose from one wing and placed it on the other.
rawls:How do you set up a rig with 2 single wings. This is very interesting and I'm curious abouot how you would rig it...
