Just to let everyone know I had the pleasure yesterday of using Scott
Koplin's stainless steel single tank adapter (which he makes himself). I was highly impressed with the quality and function of the piece. I had been using the Halcyon blue aluminum STA without any problems of wobble that some have reported, but did find it strange that Halcyon don't make a stainless steel adapter, which I much prefer. The Halcyon aluminum one is prone to corrosion where the bolts connect through to the backplate (if you were using a stainless steel backplate). Another feature I really liked about Scott's STA is that the bolts are tack-welded which makes changing bladders a breeze. Also, the backplate is lower profile which brings the tank closer to your back (especially advantageous when you're diving with steel tanks). The adapter is available in weighted or non-weighted. I used the non-weighted because I was diving wet with a steel tank. In the wintertime when I wear a drysuit, I'll have to get a weighted version. Hats off to you Scott for a fine piece of Scuba equipment! Jonny |
