New to Doubles

[matt t.]

Get rid of the wing. The ONLY need or a wing that big is if you need to use it as a lift bag for salvage operations. Whoever talked you into that wing should be shot. As Chris mentioned, a wing in the 50-60# range is what you should be looking for. NO wing will do a good job for you with singles AND doubles. By the time you are done you may have 3-4 wings. Now on the lighter side  ;D... You should decide where you want out of your diving in the next few years and buy gear accordingly. I'm not aware of an "intro to deco" class. These days some of the instructors are "teaching" intro to tech classes. I'm not sure if this is an actual class or a seminar format. I know Greg Such is doing something with that. You may also want to P.M. the few other tech instructors on the board to see if they are teaching an intro to tech curriculum.
