A 38# wing for diving doubles? How did you determine that that will be enough lift for diving doubles on deco dives?
My Classic has 58.5 lbs of lift and is rated for 100 cuft steel doubles. If you max out a smaller BC/wing you have no reserve if things get sticky Underwater or on the surface. Better have strong legs so you can kick it to the surface. I prefer to plan for the worst, just in case. There is an old saying about air plane pilots "there are bold pilots, and there old pilots, but there aren't many old bold pilots".
25lb doubles wing/. I bet that would go great with a little set of LP50 doubles for NDL diving.
My instructor said so. He said he personally doesn't like anything bigger than 40#, and specifically said 38# would be fine for the pair of LP85s I'd be training with. I'm clueless, of course, but the instructor seems to have a bit of experience in these matters. I'll guess I'll find out on July 5th when I meet him for the start of the 5-day combo course.A 38# wing for diving doubles?

The course is being taught by John Chatterton in Pompano Beach; based on some recommendations I decided it was worth the trip to Florida.
