I thought I had figured out what to get.
I was pretty sure I wanted to go with the Kydex back plate and the LCD 30 single tank wing.
But then I started wondering about the difference between the Torus and LCD.
As I read on, I began to wonder if the Kydex back plate would be a poor choice for the occassions when I want to wear a 5 or 7 mil wet suit.
Is it possible to put together a single tank rig that would work with a 3, 5, and 7 mil wet suits primarily using AL 80s, but occassionally using steel 120s?
I understand I would have to vary the ballast using a weight belt and perhaps some pockets on the cam bands for trim.
As long as I am getting specific, I am
6 feet tall
185 lbs
Gear I would expect to carry: SMB, finger spool, small camera, flashlights, and potentially a lower end canister light.
I understand that if/when I get into technical diving I would need to adjust, but is it possible to put together a single rig that would work for "wet" recreational diving from the Caribbean to--at the cold end--Galapagos or Cocos.
