ONE WORD, WOWWAWESOME!!!
Dove the Redondo Submarine Canyon with it. Configuration Aluminum Backplate/Oxycheq wing and Brand New DUI CF200X Drysuit.
I got to say this is a huge difference from my usual Dive Rite and Transpac with Rec Wings.
The trim I was able to maintain, perfectly horizontal, ease of use was just short of amazing. If some of you had read some of my posts in the past, I originally had a faced down problem, until I adjusted my trim weighting and wing position when worn with my Transpac/Recwings.
With this new Oxycheq wing, I absolutely did not have to kick at all to maintain a positive heads up buoyancy on the surface, and maintaining horizontal trim was an absolute sell for me.
Just so you guys know, I have been waiting for a wing like this to be developed for a while and Patrick from Oxycheq made that a reality for me.
I don't agree necessarily about the hose length issue that some of you had debated on, it was not dangling like some of you would think, it stayed perfectly out of the way, it is just fine. But I'm sure if you guys talk to Patrick about it maybe he can accomodate sometime in the future.
All in all, I was able to hover 5 inches off the floor bottom and stay there effortlessly and I never had to labor once to maintain balance.
You guys will like it, it was worth every penny.
That's my 2 cents for all those who have been waiting.
It's the best, and for all you DIR folks don't knock Oxycheq Wings, it's definitely just as good or better than Halcyon's Wings, I have no doubt in that.
It's U.S. made, the air flows completely around the wing, it's not horseshoe shaped. It's longer and narrower in the sides so cutting through the water was no sweat.
My dive partner even commented how he couldn't believe it was a wing with 45 lbs. of lift, he said it looked more like a 30 lbs. wing. I can't agree more with him.
I wonder where Halcyon's has their equipment made? If some of you really research that fact it would probably trip you out. Hahhahaa, have fun on that.
Well, for those of you who have been waiting for this, that's what I have to say. It's AWESOME, and the quality of the material that it is made from just makes it stand out from the rest.
I've got all the lift if I ever need, and still compactness to boot. YAH Baby YAH!
