Double Bladder Upgrade for Original (CD) Ouroboros Wing

vulcan · 4th September 2006, 18:54

For anyone that may be interested, though most of you may find this uneccessary in light of recent posts about changing out the original Custom Divers wing. I've made enquiries with CD about the possibility of upgrading the original wing to a double bladder, rather than having to buy a new one altogether, this is for something I had planned in the future. Their response:

"Yes an upgrade kit is available. The price is £157. You would also need a two-part plastic tool to undo the couplings price £20 or alternatively send your wing in to us and we will do it for you FOC but you would need to pay for the return carriage £10."

If you want to pursue it I have the full e mail I can forward giving the full details.

Regards

Why on earth would you want a double bladder wing?

Obvious reason that comes to mind is diving a wet suit so twin bladder gives you a second buoyancy without deploying smb/lift bag plus it gives you 2 inflators to pull out of the wings before you are really in the SH**

Maybe 'manxdiver856' was looking at the photo of 'laptonyx' in his dry suit (who divers in the antartic - cold ....jeeeez!!)

I count my CL as a second buoyancy device

I had a OMS dual bladder wing, - but never used the second bladder. I sold it to get a Dive Rite super one with one bladder
