Anyone know anything about AGIF Wings? Sometold me to look into them.

?
Do you mean AGIR?
 
ScoobieDooo:
Yea, AGIR.
I dive their doubles wing and I can only say good things about it...(My Halcyon is in storage)
 
Update on the wing.

While my concerns were heartfelt, they may not have been overly justified. The wing dives fine. I have had it in the water numerous times with no problems. It's not too shabby at all. So, I take back the harsh statements about this piece of equipment.
 
Glad to hear it's "growing" on you. I just swapped out my DiveRite Venture for a Pioneer 27# and so far prefer it, especially the slow speed of the inflator.

That's great news. Mine is in the mail on it's way here. I was wondering how the dealer was going to take it when he got it back, unopened, with a note that I heard on SB that it was a POS. :D

i swapped my Dive Rite Venture for a Pioneer 36, and i definetely like the
Pioneer better.

much easier to control bouyancy, both inflating and venting.

the biggest difference is the location of the rear valve, which in the
Venture pressed up against the tank and made venting difficult
 
The rear dump on this wing is outstanding. I have had a small misting leak in my power inflator since I purchased it, but it still works fine. Big thanks to Jonny for hooking it up. I wish the wing had a protective cover, but I'll take it for now ;)
