It's a plate and harness system, somewhat more complex than the Halcyon
harness, but fairly similar. I'm not sure what there is about it that
"appears" to be more comfortable about it. Comfort is somthing that tends
to require actually trying things to determine. If you think you might like
it better, give it a try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Loyalty is not a particularly good reason to choose one equipment line over
another unless price and performance are comparable. Go with what works for
you.

Probably, but don't let the name Halcyon deter you from shopping for wings
too. Two of my three wings are Halcyon. The third is Oxycheq and Dive Rite
makes them as well.

The Pocket dohickey that you put the surface signal in

Default Transplate?

All right from some of my reading i can tell there are some big
Halcyon fans out there. I am wondering about the Dive Rite
Transplate. I appears to be more comforatble than anything Halcyon
has to offer. I would like to stick with all Halcyon (my local shop
carries it and would like to stay loyal) unless someone knows of
something Halcyon dosen't display or has a bit of good advice. If the
Dive rite Transplate is a good call is it usable with Halcyon wings
(I'm gussing so, i justwanna check)

Risk assessment and planning are the keys to safe diving. Redundancy may be
part of the planning.

Popeye, which Oxycheq wings did you order?
