I've very much decided on purchase of a Sport Kiss :dazzler1: and would like to have some practical advice of users here in Central Europe (Belgium, Holland, Germany, UK, ...) or have some contacts with actual owners.
Main 3 questions:
1) Diving North-Sea and local waters (drysuit or normal 7mm wetsuit), do you actually need more (a lot more) or same amount of weight for diving (acc. to fe a 15lit single tank), does this alu or Stainless cover make much difference.
2) I think it's better to buy locally made CE approved tanks. Which are best (alu or steels). I know that CE approved alu's are heavier then same volume CE approved steels (2 or 3 liters ???).
3) Which wing/backplate would be a good combination. I already have a Halcyon Pioneer wing, is it a good idea fe. to buy a Halcyon Explorer bladder to fix to my backplate and fix the Sport K to this, or do I keep the backplate and buy the Oxycheq 40lbs (as package deal with the Sport Kiss), or do I buy the complete system wing+Apac as delivered as package deal ? I'm shure many of you have done all the tests, it would safe me time and money to go through the same process again.
