STAs and What size wing for BP?

[Chris H]

Chad,
The STA makes it easier to switch between singles and doubles. Like Matt said, you can get a weighted one to cut down on the weight you need on a belt. The newer backplates that have the slots in them are OK, but threading the straps through the plate can be a pain. I do think the STA holds the tank better, but it will put the tank farther from your COG and possibly make you feel unstable or less stable, meaning more likely to roll over onto your back. All of my recent diving has been in doubles do I don't have too much first had experience with this. Matt, on the other had, dove a single tank when we were out on Saturday, so his opiion should hold some water. His last statement about the "best" solution is right on the money as well.
