Question Which Height [holes] Do You Use With An XDeep NR Wing W/Large Stainless Steel Plate?

[Nemrod]

Good down load and appreciated....options for certain, but perhaps not optimal or even viable..of the DH I have the Kraken and "Phoenix Modified" RAM will be what I first try to use.....The XDeep double strap crotch strap which was not to your liking seems to better retain the plate in place in conjunctions with waist band and puts less of focused load on your crotch...only issue will be either placing the wt belt over or under [not to my liking] the double straps....still old school that "first off is last on"...weight belt....even with weight pouches on waist band, dropping the weight belt cleanly is mandatory for me....read some questioning the cut-outs on SS NX plate; at over 8lbs the design to me make sense especially for me with my very full wet suit...contour of plate for me is also very comfortable....

Thanks again....

Oh, just noticed what you referred to as "center outlet"....actually with the longest hose, it provides way to dump top of wing without tilting and for me comes over the shoulder strap rather than binding under it....also the "no wire dump" feature is a bonus for me...have fiddled with too many of those that have leaked or wire disconnected....second nature for me to raise the inflator to dump....

A weight belt is going to make you really leg heavy unless you have some built in flotation back there, I do not. Like I said, I had to shift much weight to the top cam band.

The center outlet, not sure what wire? I did not have and do not have or use a pull dump hose, is that what you mean? Ninety percent of the time, being horizontal, I use the butt or as some call it the kidney dump. Rarely use the inflator hose if ever for venting gas. But I am not head up in the water. The center outlet of the X-Deep wing is right where the can is.

Anyways, have fun experimenting. You have it all figured out, I thought I did too. I did not.

Regarding DH regs, after decades of using them, I have at long last decided they are simply not worth the fuss and bother.

Awesome! Is that a scuba hatchet in the middle of the table?

Guess this one would probably start to rust after a couple of dives

What language is this?

Yes.....my reference was to a pull dump valve on BCDs of any design...invariably they will develop a leak ....the NX not having such a dump is a plus to me....

Ah ......."not worth the fuss"....I get that but I am retrograding and really enjoy the old sound of the bubbles behind me and of course the symmetry of two hoses and not the single....not just nostalgia for me, I find it more enjoyable to dive a double hose...no, not even considering a CCR...... even if the Kraken hoses were from them...

Out here and take care......
