I've been diving for a number of years, but recently have gotten involved with some cave diver training (intro). The cave dive instructors all swear by the BP/Wing set up, but I'm not sure I want to go that route. My diving will not be limited to cave diving, but will include ALOT of O/W stuff with single tanks as well.
I thought the Halcyon BP/Wing setup looked good because of the Pioneer wing strictly for singles and the explorer setup for doubles. How comfortable is this setup? In the O/W, it seems it would be difficult to get out of the harness when re-boarding the boat??
Transpac versus OMS IQ
The Transpac seems like a good setup, but have read several posts that it's not stable enough for doubles. Also, I was concerned that getting either the Trek or Rec wings would be too much wing for my single tank diving. Thoughts?
Lastly, the IQ looks very attractive because you can add the backplate for stability. My question then, is there one wing I can comfortably (not alot of drag) use with singles that will provide enough lift for doubles?
Anxious to hear your thoughts!
