Transition to BP/W

Huh?

Well you said it. I watched the video and it was pretty cool, but as far as noticing wing performance I couldn't tell, plus the actual language of the wing under the wing thing being confusing.

Huh?

Oops, I meant under and beside the tank. I guess that still isn't the best way to describe it but I mean to say it doesn't end up wrapping up around the tank, creating two separate air bubbles that are not able to be easily dumped without contortion.

Well I got all my stuff in the mail and all put together. Got fully suited up and was able to sink nicely with my steel tank. No additional weight needed. I will however have to get a sta. I could only use one cam band because the slots didn't line up. Or do I really need two bands?

that is the danger of mismatching wings and backplates. Nothing difficult to solve.

i would recommend a STA. The Dive Rite wings really should have them since they have no anti-roll features built in. DGX has cheap ones. That said, if it's one of the new Rec wings with the cross hairs, it should line up....

It's an older model I guess all black with solid webbing and slots. I ordered an sta.

So now you will be over weighted by whatever the STA adds.......
