weight adj. and drysuit

Scoobie,

I dive a single tank right now (al80) but will be getting steel 95's. I have a Deepoutdoors 40lb. wing on a GaryHoadley Dir rigged BP.
I got the wings in FL. from Birds Underwater after talking to him about what I would like to do. He stated the Deepoutdoors were put together well and I agree. I compared them to Diverite in the shop and he gave me an excellent price as well.

Sweet Chuck,
I am kicking around steel 98's this Fall as well, coupled with two Apek's ATX50's (own one currently).

How do you use them?


????

I place the fin keepers over my drysuit boots (OS Systems suit w/ attached rubber boot) before putting on my fins. The fin keepers squeeze the boot to my foot, making less room for air to congregate. I also like the fact that the fin keepers keep the boot snugly on my foot... it doesn't feel like my foot might slip out at any moment. I actually got the idea from one of the 5thD guys I dove with on my BP/wing orientation dive. It's what he does and he suggested I give it a try.

Anyone have any pics on HOW these 'fin keepers' work and look when hooked up?

If no one else beats me to it, I'll take pics before my dive tonight and post them for you.
