Am I the only one who doesn't like Halcyon's integrated STA in their single (Pioneer) wing?
I got my DiveRite Trek wing almost specifically because I wanted a real STA, independent of the wing. Something about the connection mechanics of having the wing itself (which is nothing but nylon) support the tank... just bothered me. I haven't seen one in person, though.
I also can't understand how their integrated STA can actually hold the tank "inches closer" to the diver, as compared to a normal STA. Seems like it might save at most 1cm...
And my Trek wing is easy to upgrade to light-weight doubles. Except that I'm probably getting double 95's, which are not really light-weight, so my Trek wing is probably actually useless... but that's a different story.
