OMS 32# Single Cylinder Wing

[cortez]

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these?

My LDS told me that as of dec 1 they are not available yet...
maybe OMS was waiting for the new year to ship them out...

They're available now and in stock. Just ordered one - I work for an OMS dealer, but am the first person to order one through our store - and was told it will be here by Tuesday.

Geez - that's a great turnaround time - considering they've been on the website for the better part of the last year!


Typical OMS.

So you don't like their 32# wing?

I don't touch anything OMS. They promote their products by falsely claiming other products are evil, without the material to back it up. They promise stuff and never deliver, (ie - galvanized tanks) and the stuff they do deliver is delayed forever (I remember looking at the OMS single wing when I was wing shopping... I finally purchased my newest wing back in JULY, so I know it's been more than 6 months.

Furthermore, some OMS stuff is just... crap! (OK - I'll take some heat on this, but I'm a big boy.) Realistically - no one EVER needs a 100 lb wing!!!! What's up with that????

Suffice it to say, I'm no OMS fan. If you want to dive it, go nuts. I'm not religious about it or anything - I just choose not to buy OMS anything.

Dude, OMS does make some nice equipment, but I have to agree with some of what you said. I sold most of my OMS gear because they ticked me off. But if they made something I really liked, I wouldn't pass it up because it had their name on it.

Take a look at what the new world OC depth record holder used, its the same as the previous depth holder used

I dont have any OMS dive gear myself, but the fact its been to 300M and back must say something about it!

He also had lights mounted on his head. Is that advocated too?

My point was that I am interested in comments about a product, not broad opinions about a company. Want to debate equipment manufacturers in general, equipment ediquette, do it another thread. I was looking for serious information about a product for which you have none. Thank you for comments can we please return to the original topic?
