Halcyon Back Plate w/ Wings

[Genesis]

The Halcyon 36 and 45 wings both have the expanding panels at the bottom of the wing on the OUTSIDE.

The 27 does not.

The Oxycheq 30 does not have the panels at all, and the 45 has them on the INSIDE, centered on the wing near the tank mounting area. As such the Oxycheq expands closer to the center of mass and buoyancy, and as a consequence the trim does not materially change.

It DOES with the Halcyon wings (speaking from ~100 dives worth of experience with the Halcyon Pioneer 36 here.)

About 2/3's down the page.

I think that's out of date. I could not find an STA on Extreme Exposure and my local halycon retailer told me that w/ the new wing, halycon had stopped making one.

Hey, i am wanting to set me up a bp/wing. but would like the wing to float single or doubles will the trex work. i do not want to buy to sep wings... and who has the best prices on bp/wings

 

[Genesis]

The profile of doubles is different enough tnan a single tank that a wing designed for one will not work well with the other at all.

I know people who have tried this, and none of them have been happy. In some cases it can even be unsafe, as doubles typically require more lift due to their greater buoyancy shift (more gas = more buioyancy shift.)

I just got into this stuff myself and have ordered the Oxycheq 45# single tank wing and recently redesigned Dive Rite back plate which also does not require a STA.

What plate is this? I don't see anything about it on their web site.

Halcyon still makes a BC with a STA.

This is one that I won in a spearfishing tournament last month.
