- Welcome back to our DIR diving series! In this segment, we seamlessly transition from our previous video where we meticulously assembled our back mount harness and discussed proper adjustment techniques. Now, it's time to integrate another vital piece of equipment: the buoyancy compensator, commonly referred to as "The Wing."
Contrary to common belief, backplate and wing systems aren't solely for technical divers. Join us as we explore the functionality and essential components of BC wings, debunking misconceptions along the way.
Discover the two primary wing designs - the donut and horseshoe configurations - and their distinct advantages. Learn why proper bladder design and dump valve placement are crucial for optimal performance and safety.
We delve into the critical aspect of selecting the right size wing for your diving needs, demystifying the calculation process for determining lift capacity based on gas volume. Plus, gain valuable insights into the importance of utilizing a single tank adapter and selecting high-quality cam bands with metal buckles.
Learn essential techniques for effectively venting gas from your BC while underwater, ensuring efficient buoyancy control. And don't miss our exploration of the heated debate surrounding dual bladder designs in the scuba community.

The instructor at 7:35 has near robotic precision in their movements underwater, and it's perfectly aligned with the voiceover making your message very clear. Thanks for such pragmatic and easy to understand instructions.
Absolutely loving the in-depth no BS approach! Keep up the good work, you guys rock!!
Much appreciated!
Ohh maan… why didn’t I see this video before.. I was researching so much about what wing loft capacity I need, and couldn’t find anything informative.. went for 19kg lift capacity.
And its good, for the setup I’m thinking of.
Thanks for great videos!
In the early 90s I was at a dive show in London and I bought a dual bladder Northern Divers BC.
I have dove with that BC for the last 30 years , prob about 150 dives. And it has worked flawlessly.
Just a month ago I had the steel backplate removed and replaced with aluminum. At the same time I had the second bladder removed also.
So here I am with a SS plate and a perfectly good bladder.
I will probably use your last 2 videos to take these and build a pure wing-plate system from scratch.
Thanks for the informative videos.
This channel makes me happy, please keep making videos and growing.
I love the presentation and just the facts type of approach. The music is great and not distracting and the voice is soothing and enjoyable to listen to. Great channel.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
damn.. this is amazing and the quality of your videos are out of this world. Thanks for putting in the time and effort making these!!
This is the only channel I have added notification. Learned so much from your channel. Keep it up.
Much appreciated, we will do our best to up this game and deliver new stuff more frequently. 💪
amazing video as always.
TBH i am so confused between all the saying of differents divemasters/ instructors and diveshops
I am waiting to learn more via your video thanks a lot :D
So glad there is a recent a video
Glad you stick around watching our videos :) Thanks for that!

I always enjoy watching your videos.
When wearing a dry suit, air collects towards the feet.
I want to know how to use a dump valve while wearing a dry suit.
The buildup of gas in the foot pockets shouldn't cause any issues. The main reason divers encounter problems is due to overinflating their dry suits. Surprisingly, many people don't know how to use them correctly and just add gas without thought. We'll be releasing a video soon to address this specific problem.
Answering your question, you dump gas the exact same way when wearing a drysuit.
You guys make the best videos
very true
I put my tank straps on opposite sides in case there is any snagging or rubbing, only one of them will open.
interesting solution :)
Excellent content 👍
Thanks Ian!
Great stuff! Your calculation got me thinking, some wings only specify a volume, not a lift capacity. Tecline for example has the 10L Donut, would it’s lift capacity be? 10kg? Since it would displace 10 L of water? 🤔
Exactly that
Great video as always! Can't wait to see more. But I have a question, I've been looking for some time to buy a backplate BCD. In my case right now, I'm diving with a 15l liter bottle and a stage 5.7L. By the gas weight calculation with a 10 kg lift wing is enough, but right now I'm using a normal BCD which has a 22 kg lift. Would you guys recommend me to get the 10 kg lift wing or a bigger one like 13 or 15 kg? I don't know if this needs to be considered, but I'm also pretty big, I weight around 90 kg, and I am 185 cm tall.
Again, thanks for these great videos, you deserve much more views and subs. Finally, a channel that posts high quality instructive scuba videos.
Thank you for your comment! Adding a stage complicates things slightly, and I'm assuming you have an aluminum one? We can't answer your question without knowing that for certain, as well as your exposure protection. However, based on the little information you shared, here is one piece of advice I can offer: I don't see a single good reason for the setup you're using. If you're using the stage to extend your bottom time, you should clean up your configuration and move on to diving a twinset. That will solve 99% of your problems including the ones you don't currently have.
@@flowstatedivers Wow, what a quick answer😁Thank you. Yes, the stage is an aluminum 5.7L, and it's used for deco stops right now with a EAN40% I can't use a higher O2% with my actual training. For exposure protection, I use during winter a 4 mm neoprene dry suit and during summer a 7 mm semidry.
This is even more puzzling as 40% nitrox is recreational mix where deco should not be a factor whatsoever. Anyways, you are using the worst possible exposure protection for the job + the wrong configuration. These wetsuits are absolutely not recommended to be used below 18 meters due to the compression and loss of buoyancy especially not with steel tanks. You also possibly confuse stage and deco bottles, those are 2 different things. All this is telling me that you have some major confusions which is not a problem but be careful with the dives you are (I assume) doing right now as you will quickly find yourself in the kind of trouble you don't want to be in. We will release some material on unsuitable equipment combinations you might going to find something in there which will help your diving. Stay safe out there!
@@flowstatedivers Okay, thanks. I'll stay tuned for those videos. I've been trained and also always dived in the same diving center, and it is true that during this year thanks to diving in other places and investigating by myself. I'm slowly realizing that in some aspects I may have not been trained how it is supposed to, specifically in knowing the big gap that there is between recreational diving and tech diving. It's something that in some months when I have more spare time I'm going to address. Comments like yours really help me realize my mistakes and weakness and motivate me to do what I've always tried, to become better and better at diving. So for that, seriously, I'm really Thankful.
@@andreuduran6507 Your attitude and willingness to improve are truly exemplary. It's amazing to see this! Just remember, train hard, dive easy. Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you would like to have advice on anything diving related, we are happy to assist you.
I have a question does the o shape wing goes with Double tank aswell ?
Sure, that's the most commonly used one for both single cylinder and twin-set configurations. Just be sure not to use wings made specifically for single cylinders with a twin-set. So, whichever setup you want to use, buy the appropriate wing purpose-made for that configuration.
So I did the math for gas weight and I’d like it if someone checked my work please. I have a hp100 Faber which is 12.9L. It holds 237 bar. Times those together to get 3057 then times weight of air 1.29g to get 4kg (rounded). Add 2kg for safety and get 8kg. I’m diving doubles so double that for 12kg. So I need at least 12kg of lift. My DiveRite Rec series wing has 20.4kg of lift so if I’m properly weighted I’m good to go there.
Correct. You got a typo there states 8kg instead of 6 but everything else checks out. Keep in mind that you need to be correctly weighted for this to work, so with empty cylinders while wearing all your gear you should be neutral. The negative gear you are using should be compensated by the exposure protection you are wearing, assuming it's a dry suit with our heavy doubles.
It is a dry suit and thank you for checking my work. I’ve learned so much from this channel. I’m just starting my trek into the tech world.
Why aluminium STA?
I would assume you should match the STA material to your backplate material, and your backplate material to the buoyancy of your exposure protection... But perhaps the point is to not have the weight of the STA influence your buoyancy and steel is too negatively buoyant?
Generally I'd avoid having dissimilar metals because of corrosion, but I guess with a bolted connection it's not the end of the world.
Although you're accurate in addressing these aspects, it's important to note that the STA and backplate never come into direct contact. The wing is situated between them, minimizing the likelihood of corrosion. Additionally, the screws or bolts fastening the two metals together are of negligible significance.
@@flowstatedivers so is it just for buoyancy that you recommended aluminium? I have no issue with my steel STA. It just means a tiny bit less lead when I'm diving with my drysuit.
@@MegaEpicLlama Exactly, no problem with a steel one we just recommend aluminium as divers quickly stack up excess weight with different bits and pieces and ending up being so heavy that their exposure protection can't neutralise. It's obviously not the case with drysuits
