What BC for drysuit?

[jasondbaker]

Doug I did a liveaboard this summer with my SS backplate and wing. One word: awesome. I wore a full 3mm and did not wear any weights. It was simply perfect.

The one catch is that you need to adjust the harness a bit. It took me a couple dives to get the harness dialed in. Next time I will just use a separate backplate+harness that is dedicated to warm water trips. My 36lb halcyon wing was overkill as well. I could have easily used a 27 or 18. My wing was still smaller than a couple of the BCs on the boat. I expected to be the only guy on the trip with a backplate. But I discovered that the DM and Captain were both diving backplates. That tells you something...
