On the other end of Kendall's doubles spectrum;
I use the 65# Explorer wing when diving dry & twin
112's plus stages. I have used the same wings
with twin 80's w/wo stages without any notice
of air shift or additional drag. In tighter
spaces though, there are times I wish I
had 45 lb wings with 80s just because they are
narrower and easier in a tight restriction.When the are un-inflated or in OW, I can't tell
the difference between 65 and 45.
If you ever perform support diver duties in
OW, use the larger wings. The extra lift is
important when shuttling nultiple full stages, tools, and spent scooters between the team and
the gear lines.
