Weighted Single Tank Adapter

[Mayor]

I check mine and carry on an alum plate. Never had any issues but a friend had two zip tied in his checked bag and was called back to discuss what it was. This was on Turks and Caicos. His bag met him a few days later. One thing is for sure it's nice to have if diving a neutral rig.

I will tell you that I use bike bar end plugs to cover the studs when in the checked bag. This way if it breaks loose it won't eat my gear.

IMHO if you are getting the Alum plate then the STA weight is a must when using alum tanks on vacation. Options are always good to have.

Thanks for the help guys, I did see a video on youtube over the week that shows a very quick clip of the STA with the block of lead that mounts to it..

Anyone else sketched out by the idea of diving with a non-ditchable block of lead on your rig???? Seems decidedly un-DIR to me. I wish there was a way for me to dive my STA without the weight! There are no screws of an appropriate size to fit the adapter to the backplate without the weight though. Makes me nervous!

email halcyon, they have the short bolts available to convert your STA to unweighted.

also can be ordered from here
