Wanting to get first backplate and wing.

[Mopar]

I was thinking of getting a Diverite SS backplate and standard harness with a Oxycheq wing with roll control. Will this make me a good rig? Thanks in advance.

No, you will still be a human.

I'm not sure if the cam-strap slots line up with that combo. I'd check that out before making a purchase (or use a single tank adapter).

Diverite is a good company and makes a great product. While I have never dove with the Oxycheq wings I have heard several complaints about them. If your out looking for other (Halcyon / DSS / Diverite / Hollis / OMS/ HOG) All make excellent wings.

I believe Tobin (cool_hardware52) is the Owner of DSS and is usually around here on the boards if you had any questions about his wings.

Yes, it's a good rig. I have the same combination except Diverite aluminum BP.

Hey Mopar, You know I will have to agree with Shady. Tobin will get you in the right setup for what diving you will do. His complete rigs are a great setup and you have seen my kit and know the quality of his stuff. Visit his site here on SB and read some of the threads and his replies.

Here are some good packages, ~$410-$420 for the dive rite combo, $460 for deep sea supply:

Yes, the Oxycheq wing will be just fine for your rig. I have a 58# dual bladder wing for use in most of my tech dives. It's always performed without issue. I have yet to have an issue with mine yet in a years worth of dives.

I've also got a dive rite SS plate. They work well together although I'm using mine with doubles and don't plan on doing any singles dives with either. I think you made a solid choice and your setup will be fine.

I like diving BP/wing, never dive a standard BCD again.

They will.

I have Dive Rite plates and Oxy wings, although I prefer t use STA's. I have 2 STA"s. One weighs 12 oz and the other 8 oz. They are < 1/8" thick, but make the rig soooo much easier to manage.
