So Many BP/Wings to choose from!

Thanks for clearing that up. My apologies.

Oh - and back when I was diving more, there wasnt a trimix computer available. The Abyss was in prototype and was about $1400.00. It was much easier to use proplan and laminate the tables to put in your wetsuit, or tape them to your fin.
I bought the Zeagle Status II for a 2 gas nitrox computer - I still have it. I just bought the Nitek 3 as an upgrade for recreational tech diving, and am considering a trimix compter. But I dont think I will be doing all that much trimix diving in my future, I'm creeping up on 46 years old now - and the tanks are getting too heavy, and I'm terribly out of shape.

Does this explain things better?

No problem, I guess I forgot more than I thought I did.

Actually, mix should be in your future, there's been progress in the last 5 years, Giant wings with the incumbent drag are "out" ... effficient, streamlined, sized for the task at hand, wings are "in" ... clean functional gear configurations are the norm. .... less drag yields much better gas use rates and tires the diver less. Mix is getting popular for depths greater than 80', it's not just for 200'+ any more. We know how bad N2 is and that He is basically your friend.

So get back in the gym and back into diving.

I haven't heard any discussion on OMS. What are your opinions on there gear. I'm just begining my "research" into a BP/W. Thanks

I currently dive the OMS IQ pac, 94# bladder and either AL80 or Lp steel 72's. Out here OMS rules the roost with a few DiveRite thrown in. I can't give a higher recomendation for OMS.......Top quality and ultimately professional. And a great website.
