I used to suffer from being too low in the water using the AP wing, but since I bought my newer unit, I've gone back to intergrated weights & removed the crotch straps. I find if I loosen my shoulder straps a bit & then fully inflate my wing, I float at a reasonable level, which I can cope with. Still not as nice as my old OMS 100lb / rib that I used on the twinset!
I do use my "suicide" bottle to inflate the wing on the surface, saving having to use any dil gas (gotta save that helium). I hope people are using offboard gas to inflate the massive VBS wings & not blowing all that nice helium away from your dil!!
