We are digressing here IMHO. So far I have found a lot of reasons why you would all not dive that way. But no reasons why it is not safe. Anyone? Yes I have not had a wing failure but yes I have a dive partner who has (Halcyon) and it had a whole 5-6 dives on it. I do carry an extra wing. I'm not thinking Chris that you would want to drag that extra wing on that cattle boat we dove up in Mackinac. How about trying to switch out a wing while on it. So my wing starts leaking? Sit out the second dive? By the way in case you do not recall. My policy is that I only add something to my save a dive kit if I or a dive partner I am diving with encountered a failure. Trying to pack a wing is going to be fun.

BTW I also boat redundant with three props. Full tool kit extra filters, Oil, Anchors, Cap & Rotor, plugs, wires etc. (now if I could just figure out where to put the extra gas). I have needed only one extra filter in all my years (could have used the x-tra gas last year ;D) However funny how I have had to give out bulbs, a sparkplug, fuel filter, and wire all while on trips.

Face facts guys mechanical sh.t breaks. Just because it hasn't happened to you yet do not think it won't otherwise why dual posts with an isolator. In my limited diving I have yet to encounter or dive with someone who has a failure that requires shutting down a post or such a catastrophic failure that would require shutting down the isolator.
