Hi everyone,
I'm a new diver and looking into getting my own gear with BCD being one of the last things I still cannot decide on... Until now I have only rented jacket style BCDs but reading up I think I want go move to BP/W. First step is to understand the right size of wing.
My worst case scenario would be diving in Netherlands in Salt water at 40m with my Semi-dry suit and 15L steel tank.
Using the buoyancy calculator it gives me that I need 19L wingsize or 15L with droppable weights however in the lift tab it says 15L lift is marginal at depth. I talked with ppl at the dive club and they told me rule of thumb is if you want to dive with 15L tank you should have 17L wing. So what size I should aim for? And what are the drawbacks if I use the same wing also when traveling abroad for warm water diving ?
Now looking at the models available I like the idea behind the Tecline peanut that comes in size 16L and 21L and interestingly I can get the 21L for cheaper than the 16L... or should I just go for a donut shaped wing instead of peanut which come in 17L from tecline or other brand?
