When I was young I dove in Mexico with no BCD, just a hardness. It was the best and most comfortable dive I ever had!
Great advice as usual. I was using your tips/suggestions on trim and I actually got compliments on how well my trim was. Keep up the great work.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and the Dive Right family.
Always great advice. Getting the weight down to minimum required. Less weight, more sink. Brilliant. Happy Holidays
James thank you the quick review. Was looking to replace my wing, you made it easy to decide which one to choose.
Ty,
Jim
Great info about lift! Put in simple terms and so much easier to understand. Have a wonderful Christmas!
I remember from a previous video, Peak Buoyancy Performance was not recommend as a specialty. I still did it for my MSD (together with wreck, deep, NO2 and drysuit) as PBP probably is the easiest specialty to get. It turns out been very helpful. My trainer helped me reduced the lead, and corrected the frog kicking. A correct trainer is much more important than the agent/course.
Since then there is a significant improvement of ‘suck less’. Great work mate, I learned a lot from your channel. Wish you and the Dive Lite team have a fruitful 2023.
As technical diver, recall buying my first set set of Wings from Sanford & Down in Plymouth in 1993. Loved them but being a hard back system I had to add a single cylinder mount. These days it is family time and enjoying coaching my 2 kids through junior open water, and my wife back into diving. The travel wing is perfect for the red sea, travel wings are great. I still have that wing and it still works after 29 years, built to last!
Love your videos! Merry Christmas James!
Always fun to watch your videos. As an instructor I use this info for my students often. Happy holiday to you and yours.
Merry Christmas and thanks DR (works for Divers Ready and Dive Rite :P ) for the competition. A nice lightweight travel BPW is next on my list :D
Merry Christmas 🎄and a Happy New Year 🎇 Thanks for all the great content throughout the year!
Thanks James for the Great Videos and the chance to win gear. Thanks also to Dive Rite for helping to make this happen. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. , James & family ...
Truly enjoy your videos - thank you for making them.
A BCD's primary function is to allow you to strap a cylinder to your back, and giving a few pockets to put rubbish wrestled off the reef. Added benefit is helping you to bob at the surface.
James, Thank you for all the great content!
I am always amazed how little weight people can get away with. Minimizing my lead is definitely my goal for next year!
I'm down to just my backplate when I'm diving my drysuit or 5mm!
Another great video, Merry Xmas James! It was great meeting you and Bobby.
This would be a great addition for my trip to Roatan in March
Really hoping to get the BCD from this giveaway. Found this channel after my OW this year and i've been loving it since. Can't wait for more in 2023
Awesome vid! Keep it up!!
Hmmmmmn… I like my Zena but I’m always eying these on the boat… great trim, double tank strap and this one has plenty of D rings!
Dry weight is the same at 6.2 lbs and lift of 30 vs 34 both work for me, I can recover my buddy’s weights if needed.
Thanks for this amazing video
Thank you James as always!
It seems the Instagram link (the one that opens when you submit, not the one shown on mouse hover) to diverite is broken.
Crossing fingers really hard for my submission, because I was not yet able to get this BCD in germany.
Great stuff!
Merry Xmas James and everyone!
Hello im fadil im saving up for a padi open water course for next year if been watching your videos to give myself a bit more prep for my padi course thank you for your videos.
Cousteau was a very lean diver (mimimal aluminium tanks around then), neoprene suits with extra buoyancy was the norm,
Have a great Xmas and New Year.
Marry Christmas to you and your family. Plus thanks for the informative vlogs keep up the awesome work
@text3834 Hello how are you today I’m Larry
Any chance of you doing a trans plate system review? And maybe a rundown on weighting/buoyancy with a stainless plate, aluminum plate, pony bottle, etc.?
Nice video
I have wondered about "lift"... thanks for the information.
I have also been very interested in getting this BCD!
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅🏻 🎄 🤶🏻
Merry Christmas
So 35 pounds of lift is more than enough if I’m using 30 pounds of lead and a single steel 80? If sounds like it is from your explanation.
I don't see how a 44 lb wing is unsuitable for HP100s, given that you are neutral at the end of the dive with an empty wing dipping into reserve air on AL80s. Total gas weight (overfilled HP100s) at the beginning of the dive is 17 lb, getting your head well above water takes about 11 lbs, and empty HP100s have 4 lbs more sink than AL80s. You would only need about 32 lbs of lift, well within the capability of a 44 lb wing. (That's even neglecting the wetsuit buoyancy regained when moving from 20 ft to the surface.) What am I missing?
Thanks for the info I have asked this question before. I was hoping for some techincal math formula to figure it out though. I use a 32# wing with a steel or AL tank on a stainless backplate with lots of weight to counter the buoyancy of my 7mm farmer john in cold water. It seems to work ok for me as a system with the buoyant wetsuit but if I take the rig off in the water it does not have enough buoyancy to float itself so i need to tie it off to the boat before i board.
You could move some of that lead from the rig to a weightbelt. You+7mm wetsuit would easily support 10ish lbs on a belt, and your rig would float without you in it. Plus, if you're climbing a ladder with your rig on, handing up the belt first makes that a much easier climb.
I have a similar rig with an HP steel 100 tank. Your steel backplate should be about 4-5 pounds. How much additional weight are you using when diving the steel tank?
@@pbillings808 Ive moved all the weight pecifically to to the harness so I could get rid of the belt. with a comercial dive boat isn't a problem. Diving from my personal boat (17 ft bowrider) is more of an issue as the ladder is small and can't support a lot of weight. so I have a short lanyard with a couple of climbing caribeaners I use to clip off the rig until I board and can pull it up.
@@jeffworst9939 Im diving with 26 # with an AL80 and the wetsuit 28# with a steel100 and a drysuit. saltwater.
@@kevindavison6019 With a 7mm suit, 4mm hooded vest under that and a steel 100, I dive with about 16.5 lbs. total (including steel backplate). Try to reduce your weight. Have you tried diving with the wet suit and steel tank? You should be able to go down to at least 20 lbs.
Ok
had to do a double take was half asleep and thought he said transpac.
If waistlines keep rising, so will weight
LMAO! Lot's of SINK. That caused me to choke on my breakfast, good stuff :)
Lift - isnt that something done with shoes?
It really annoys me, how most instructors don’t pay enough attention to correctly weighting students.
There are simple formula to get pretty close to correct weight for a novice diver.
I very rarely use a wing, because of my free diving days. My weighting is usually spot on for the depth I’m trying to be neutral at.
How do I win
Oh I’m actually first
Merry Christmas🎉
$ is "LIFT"
Without $ , you sink !
