Re: Bouyancy Control - Wing or suit?

I predominantly used the suit OC. On all but deep dives the wing was not touched.

On CC I use both as the balance of my configuration requires. I am weighted for good trim with no stages, no wing volume and comfortable suit volume. I dive a non adjustable suit valve so weighting is critical for comfort. In bottom phase I use the suit for trim but the wing will have some volume to offset stages and suit compression etc. ON deco I let the suit do it's thing and if all is right the wing will be practically empty.

Short answer: I use both.
