It’s been over 2 months since I posted anything, so a little update is due…….

Normoxic Trimix – didn’t finish the course   The weather on the last 2 days meant it wasn’t possible to get the 60m depth required for the qualifying dives.  It just means I need to go back to Malta to complete it next year!

Purchase wise, as I seem to progressing with the tech side of things quicker than I anticipated, a backplate and harness is next!  Not sure on the backplate yet, but for the harness i’m pretty much decided on the new Uno from Custom Divers.

I tried out the Custom Divers Sporster Wing today in the pool.  After spending a couple of hours (near enough) in the pool I really like the Wing, the position it keeps me in the water.  My biggest complaint is the crutch strap, but thats something I will get used to.  I’m pretty much decided on getting one now!

I’m still deciding what BCD I want to get and since I posted about the Scubapro Knighthawk just over a month ago I am still none the wiser as to which one.  I had the plan of trying a Scubapro Kinghthawk on at LIDS last week but, I was unable to find a supplier with one at the show – although everyone I spoke said I was probably a medium.

Also since then, I have been considering the possibility of a Custom Divers Wing, either the Bravo or Sportster.  Priced between £250 (Sportster) and £400 (Bravo) they are simular to the Knighthawk, both a light and ideal for the travelling recreational diver and the Bravo has the advantage of being used with or without a backplate (again good from a travelling p.o.v).

I am now confused.  I don’t know whether to try a wing out in a pool session, or just one on and make a decision and introducing different make/models has made the decision harder.
