Singles Scuba Diving Trips SCUBA BC Question?

SCUBA BC Question? - singles scuba diving trips

With a view to buy a new BC and I'm looking for a model and a 44 # 56 #-carrying capacity. My question goes to 56 # is to me a problem when using a single tank of fuel? Versitilty I like most, I am currently single dive, but a larger increase of 56 # to me is a tank versitilty double. It is lift, too?

Looks like wings can change and it is a trapezoid. Nuthin 'wrong that at all. It is cheaper for you and that means less hardware to carry around that extra wing pallets easier than a full BC. That's what I used to. I'm between the wings and you switch between two and only a few minutes. I have no way to reorganize platform, so you do not delete or move or carbine D-ring or any kind of gears is connected to the harness. The only problem is the impact in the starting blocks. Dive with lice can cause reinforcements will surround the tank in a wing of the larger amount, but a platform for quality, it is not. Finally ... You can never be too high. You never know if you have an anchor that becomes 100 $ asked to come back to the surface. :) Is it a OMS Dive Rite or by chance?

The best way to have a "BC", but have the possibility of lifting various capacities, is to go with a backplate and wing set-up.

The back wall is made of metal and build your entire body. To the rear plate can change the configuration or integral wing tank is fairly simple.

However, the wing is usually the most expensive in British Columbia. It may work better to have two BCD. Both the wife and I have two classes of each course. A game is diving into a tank of free time. Other groups are for technical dives.

I use an AP Valves Buddy Commando (old, but flak for diving UK).
It has lots of lift and organized steel cylinders with 12-liter dual-use items, most of the time.
These are the simple days of "Band of Brothers" and not as difficult to screw a plate. This gives you the flexibility to change a single cylinder, when I need it.
Regarding your last question - you can not raise too much (better too much than too little).
