wing Bungi?

or you could use doubles that aren't boat anchors. aluminum 80s work fine

Then how would you anchor your boat when you do not dive No money saving option

rjack, there are situations that warrant redundant bladders.

The first one that comes to mind is diving doubles wet

Read Richard's post again. It mentioned "correct tank/suit combinations."

If you are diving wet you won't be doing especially long deco dives so AL80s are fine and they are cheap. (the dives can't be all that long since you have no way to regulate your temperature and a potentially cold body doesn't offgas well at all).

If you are doing dives where larger steel tanks are needed to carry the gas, then you need to be able to thermally regulate on the dive and during the deco, so you need a drysuit anyway.

Its not that complicated, despite some agency's reluctance to just face the reality of deco diving (even in warm-ish water). A double bladder wing is a kludge which just gets you alot of complicated junk for little value, certainly none of the dual functionality a drysuit brings (thermal regulation and redundant buoyancy).

how does your answer address the money saving option of steel doubles that can be used for boat anchoring ?

"Heavy sigh" <-- used for boat anchoring.

I only intend to dive reasonably shallow turist wrecks in AL 80s with a semidry suit.

Last summer dove the Spiegel many times with steel 100's had my bungee wing fail one time with 40 mins of deco above me. I will never dive steels in a wet suit unless with a double bladder wing or a dry suit again. If neither are an option ( because of the 95+ heat index during the summer here) then ill be in the al80's. Climbing up the mooring line with steels on is not the way to do proper deco.
