Thanks for all the great info i would be lost!
I’m going to go single tank setup till I get more experience. I’m 6’2 200lbs and most of my diving will be fresh water. So 7m and dry suites.
I’m thinking
DSS Large SS plate
DSS Torus 35 Wing or should I be looking at the DSS 30 or 40 LCD wing
DSS Hogarthian Single Piece Harness
Like the added weights that DSS has for the plates.
Call me, I be happy to walk you through how I select wing size.
I need to know how buoyant your exposure suit is (the most buoyant one) and what you will be using for tanks.
If I have this information it's pretty simple to select the smallest wing that will safely meet your needs. Smaller wings have less drag, and are easier to vent.
If I don't have the buoyancy info then wing sizing is at least in part a "guess" and that almost always results in a larger wing than you really need.
