I just purchased a BP/W setup this winter and I love the feel much better than the jacket style Pro QD I had before. I use a SS backplate, wing, and STA. On a dive this weekend the tank started to feel kind of floppy on my back late in the dive. As I got back to the dock it was all but falling off. After some help from my dive buddy I got set up on the dock and realized that the wing nut on the top bolt had fallen off so the STA and consequently the tank itself was only held onto the backplate by the bottom bolt. I ended up removing the STA and threading the tank straps through the backplate in order to do a second dive. I have since added a couple of bolts and wing nuts to my save a dive kit and will make sure I check the wing nuts before my dives.
Can anyone else suggest anything they've discovered as helpful to put in their save a dive kit related to their BP/W?
