I am slowly crossing over to the dark side, i.e. technical diving. I am, looking to purchase my first tech harness and wing system.
Most of my diving will still be tropical rec., so I am looking for a tech rig that is also well suited for single tank use.
Since I travel to dive, weight is a consideration. One question I have is, apart from having to wear more lead, are there any other disadvantages to an aluminum back plate?
Comfort is also key -- I wouldn't be adverse to something with a little padding.
What do you recommend?
PS
One additional question I have is can I mix and match components from different brands, e.g., OMS harness with a Dive Rite wing?
Thanks.
