Strangely I seem to be in a minority that find the lift on the 22kg Buddy wing, inadequate. With two steel 7s for bailout and 10Kg of lead to sink my 400G under suit I find on the surface it barley lifts me out of the water. Its fine on the bottom but if I ever had to lift a diver and keep him on the surface i would not be confident.

When I switch to two 10's for bailout this year it will be worse

Why not use ALU-tanks instead? My 16kg AP-wing keeps me floating with 2x80cf at the surface. I use about 12kg of led and dive with a 4mm neoprene drysuit (WP Antarctica).
