Have ordered the above from the states which should be dispatched today and hopefuly with me by next week for a dive on the Kyarra. Will let you know my impressions. My main reason for ordering is that I wanted a smaller wing than my current 55lb wing and the donut makes sense if I'm to adopt using the rear dump as the main means of venting. Ordered the 40lb version which most people seam to believe good enough for twin 12s and ali stages.

Although not a question there doesn't seem to be a place for general kit discussion.

Hi niell.

I've got mine (picked it up from fraser on my trip to the states) but haven't got it wet yet.

If Al and I dive the Medoc on Friday then I won't be using it (no new kit on 55 metre dive) but if the weather remains as forecast we'll be at vobster and I'll try it and report back.

Absolutelythe right choice in a 40lb wing though - fraser dived heavy 95s in his at the weekend without issue.

GLOC and I (and hopefully Wilbo and Neil) will be at Stoney tomorrow if you fancy a splash with your new toy?

Hi all,

Do you know when they expect to start selling them in the UK?

I've been told they're expecting CE approval in early next year (around March perhaps).
