Oxycheq O-Pac - anyone have a picture?

[mwilding]

wings are sold seperately?

 

[COVCI]

order the wing size that you want with the O-pac.

Right on!!

That back pad is kind of "fluffy" isn't? I can see that being taken off right away. I'm assuming those are velcro strips to fasten the pad?

I think you will like the Pad.. Its makes things confortable and water moves pretty easily through it so you wount have buoyancy issues..
obviously Thermal protection make s a difference, if you are in a thin wetsuit or skin you would feel things easier than wearing heavy undergarments for a drysuit.

I dive with a BP/wings now and it doesn't bother me at all. To be honest I have not tried it with a skin or no suit. So far, a 3/2mm is the lightest I've tried.
The strap pads look kind of nice for that no exposure suit as well. Chris told me the back pad seemed to add about 2# of buoyancy to the rig, but with not much to begin with that probably wouldn't be an issue.

It has been my experience that pads do start out slightly positive, but in practical use the "air" is usually forced out while you are on the surface moving around. The pad by itself does float and a single weight does sink it, after being submerged just below the surface for a few minutes, the pad generally doesn't float back to its prior position after removing the weight.. if you "squeeze" the pad like what would happen when you are in gear, you can actually get into to stay submerged without using any weight..

just my 2c

Sounds logical. Just trapped air instead of constant buoyancy.

I'm planning on getting one of these O-pacs. Seems like just the ticket for the tropic travel trips we take. It will save several pounds off the luggage which with the airlines cutting their max makes sense to me.

thanks

Does it need an STA or is it optional

 

[Scubaroo]

is optional.

It reminds me of this BC

This thing seems to be going in the direction of the Transpac. What is the difference between semi-hard and soft-pack?
