Using doubles with an Excursion?

[LBHeyman]

I see that Oceanic has a doubles adapter for the Excursion...What would be the limitations of the BC in regards to diving with doubles? Another words, what would be the biggest tanks I could use? Would it have enough lift for say...2 steel 95's? Just curious.

Why would you even try. I think it's more like for al80's and even then it's not made for doubles. And with only 45 lbs of lift you'd be pushing it with 95's. I'd also think the stability for doubles is not there. Look at the Hollis Solo, or Elite harness and plate with a 55lb wing. Yeah you can get the adpter but you most likely will not be happy with how it works.

I agree. The excursion is a great BCD but I would seriously consider going the Hollis Route for the doubles before trying to convert the excursion.

Just do it right the first time and buy the wing. I like Dive Rite myself....but use something that is made for doubles.
