OMS IQ PACK my opinion

[Mandy3206]

thanks for the info ill let you know as soon as i get wet. The guy i bought it from worked for OMS for years and he advised me since i will be diving mostly doubles go with the 100 lift. I came back to him numerous times and told him what people were saying here about it being way to big and he still recommended the 100.

We will see

If you'll be using doubles, then play with the bungies to achieve the correct lift needed, try this in a pool, it may take time, but it will be time well spent.
What I like the most of OMS is the high quality materials used in the construction of their gear.
I also got a trick to avoid taco effect, it may be cheating, but it works, if you want it just PM me and I'll try to take a pic to show you how to do it

I've had just under 10 dives on my new OMS rig. I'm very happy with it. I have the SS BP and the 60lb bladder w/ the comfort harness. I dive it with Twin 80's. I'm amazed at how stable it is. No faceplanting like I was warned about. I do feel a pinch on the neck from the thickness of the should pads when raising both my arms though. I just spent a few hours getting my rig adjusted last night. I'll report again once I've put a few more dives on it.

Will get the camera and see what I can do.

In the mean time, you just tie the bungies with another bungie or zipties to the outer BP perimeter holes, if you cinch the bungies enough, you don't need to tie them to the BP.
This is for single tank use only.
Extreme caution must be observed when tightening the bungies, it must be done on a pool until you dial it correctly before trying it in deeper water.

Some people will say: why have all that trouble when you can buy a smaller wing?, but this solution is for cases when buying a new wing isn't an option for whatever reason.

Also known as the Taco effect.

Ah, now I get it - I know about the "Taco effect" - just have never heard it referred to as the "hotdog effect."
