I did my first dives with my FredT BP and 36lb Halcyon wing. It was quite different then my back inflate BC. I wanted to get it so I could trim out better, still need more adjustments but a lot better.

One of the things that was always talked about here on Scuba Board was the streamlining of a BP and Wings setup, I must say that I thought it would help some but after getting in the water with the BP and wing setup I now know exactly what you mean by streamlined.

What fun it was to have more control over my buoyancy. Never could get it down very good but with being trimmed out better my buoyancy improved. Still have work to do of course but its better. I could actually stay horizontal and hover for a while without moving my legs or arms, What a blast!! Need to make some more adjustments to the harness but I would say it's going well. The wife is also diving a BP/Wing.

Thanks to all you BP and wing owners that always talked about how great your system was, there are those that have listened to you and enjoyed it.

Most people have trouble with "getting it up" not "getting it down"... :)

Good to hear you're happy with your purchase anyways!
 
I'm glad you gave the system a try and liked it!

I assume you're using it for pure recreational diving? It truly works for all types of diving.

Enjoy!
