Your very welcome, enjoy your new plate.

As I mentioned in my first post, it's a pretty big & bulky BC for a travel BC but the biggest issue is that a 45 to 55 wing is way to big for single tank diving. The wing will "taco" around your tank and trap air. The biggest wing you will need for single tank diving is 30 lb. My travel BC is a...

Any amount of money is too much if it's not the proper BC for your needs. You won't be happy diving with it.

My Bad, I read $1200.

This would be a good time to start an updated thread about what CO testers are currently available and which ones are best suited for testing scuba tanks.

Whether you talking about the Dive Rite or the Deep Outdoors, you said in mint condition, which I assume means used. If that's the case it's way to much money for a used BC. If you are talking about the Dive Rite, they have been in business for a very long time and make high quality gear. The...

That's a lot of BC and the wing (45to 55lbs) is way too big for single tank diving. The biggest wing you need for single tank diving is 30 lb. Look at the Dive Rite Hydro Lite BCD, it's a true travel BC. https://www.diverite.com/products/wings/hydro-lite-bcd/

It looks like most wings aren't compatible with it, definitely not ones with built in tank stabilizers. https://www.subseasports.com/sample

I never take my harness or wing off my back-plate for travel. I have the Sub Gravity adjustable harness and it has never caused any problems or been damaged. I fold the arms or legs of my wetsuit between the back-plate and wing. I pack it on top now because my dive bag has been checked by CBSA 2...

They are usually very good about responding to emails. I just looked and there are 12 Sub Gravity dealers within 80 miles of Los Angeles, maybe reach out to them to see if they have any in stock. If your in a rush, I can check to see if my guy has one?

I have Dive Rite aluminum tank buckles.

Yes I know that. I just didn't explain it very well.

Sorry for the delay. Halcyon's stuff is way over priced and it's not that much better. You're just paying for the name. It's not the back-plate, it's the style of the wing that determine if you need a STA or not. Sub Gravity wings do not require a STA. I would look at the whole Sub Gravity BP/W...

You won't need anything bigger than a 30 lb wing for single tank diving.

As mentioned above, just get a aluminum back-plate. I have a Sub Gravity 3mm aluminum back-plate, they come in standard or short length. 3mm Aluminum Backplate - SubGravity

Just get a new 26 to 30 lb wing for your existing back plate & harness, that's all you will need for a single tank setup.

Sub Gravity makes a short back plate in both 3mm stainless steel and 3mm aluminum. I have their 3mm aluminum back plate, 26 lb wing and adjustable harness and love it. https://sub-gravity.com/product-category/backmount-gear/

I have had mine for about 5 or 6 years now and haven't had any problems with it.

Does he carry liability insurance ?

I would look at Bayahibe on the south Caribbean Sea side of the Dominican Republic. I have dove there 5 times already and are returning for our 6 time this November. There is reef diving, wall diving, wreck diving and even a cave dive. I have been diving for 25 years and I saw my first ever my...
