new Diver (15 Dive) + Single tank + 40lt BP BCD

[Mario007]

I'm a new diver with 15 dives logged, i was looking to buy a BP Bcd, i found one second hand localy but it's a 40LT, i normaly use a single 15lt tank, my concern is that it might not be easy to manage.
What's the option?

I highly doubt about unit of measurement, it maybe 40 pounds which is on the larger side of the spectrum.

I am a big person but I am using 30 lbs wing which is little less than 14 liters. For reference my doubles wing is 45 lbs which is 20 liters.

the seller wrote 40lt, i have attached a picture to help understand the size. i'm located in europe so maybe the size are differete, to be honest i have not clue

It's a DiveSystem wing, I think that one is 27 L. Or this may be the X3M, of which I can't find the lift capacity quickly.

GUE knows how to make things sound dramatic...

Not even remarks on it being a horseshoe model?

For the record: I wouldn't go for this wing either if I had the choice and the cash. Just trying to help out finding some info for the OP

Thanks for the help what would you suggest? Keep in mind has to be available in Europe and not cost like a "BMW" something that can be use with a single with one eye to the future.

I am in Europe too. I had a look around on some second-hand websites, but no luck.

I don't know what your budget is, but something like this might work:

As far as new gear goes, this is about as good as it gets in terms of deals. If you have Facebook, you could check out some offerings on Facebook Marketplace.

Edit to add: the thing about wings is: people only get rid of them when there's a better alternative. SO, mostly horseshoe and bungee wings get sold now because they've fallen out of fashion.

Found a better deal even: XDEEP Zeos Standard Set - buy now - XDEEP Zeos Standard Set

I would go for the 28 lb wing. Steel or aluminum backplate depends. The steel plate is about 3 kg (not great for air travel, but great for diving), and the aluminum plate is about 800 grams (better for air travel, but you may need some extra weight to dive).
