    Selling my Hollis SMS 75 sized medium. Bought brand new. Have not made any permanent modifications to it. Has all original parts. Only 50 dives with it. Maybe only 6 in saltwater and it was well rinsed and maintained I assure you because I just finished up divemaster training and had to demonstrate gear maintenance to students after dives. Also being a poor college student who saved up for this out-of-pocket, I have cared well for it. I made minor adjustments to harness and D-rings and have used it for backmount and sidemount but no mods permanent. I'm venturing further into tech diving and sidemount is an additional skill I am postponing learning until I get around to cave diving. It is one year old and already had a yearly maintenance check at my local shop. I am open to trades as well for doubles, backplate, harness, wing, + or - cash. I am located in Tallahassee, Florida but I travel around frequently to dive, especially in cave country for cavern diving. I am looking to get $500 but willing to negotiate with any serious offers. Thanks and safe diving!

    Out of curiosity, how did you set it up for backmount? (what tank size, how did you configure it, where did you put weights, etc?) I'm going to be using mine for some OW dives later this year in the keys and am curious.

    What kind of backplate wing setup are you looking for?

    I used the two tank straps it came with, woven through the back slits. I was using an lp72. I also moved the inflator tube to the top opening as seen in the pics.

    @Dark Eternal - I need a 45-55 lbs wing, maybe dual bladder but would like to try a few before settling on one. I am looking for doubles right now though. Ideally LP85's or 6.9" bands for banding my 72's and a manifold. Im covered on the backplate and harness now

    how did it dive in a single tank backmount? seems like with the tank floating on top of the wing it would have quite a bit of roll to it?...I have a dive rite classic doubles wing if your interested...

    I am interested in the wing. How much lift and how much money you looking for?

    Ps - the sms75 did not roll at all. It was incredibly stable! Not even a learning curve for the buoyancy on it!

    not sure on the exact lift...there is no tag on the wing stating that data...if I had to guess its a 55 lb wing...its in like new condition...PM me and we can discuss money/your sms75...
