For a STA, I use the Oxycheq "Mini" 2-piece with DR Roller Cambands and Delrin nuts.

I'm curious; why do you use a single tank adapter with that backplate?

I'm curious; why do you use a single tank adapter with that backplate?

EDIT: I use the 2-piece STA with the Oxycheq Wishbone plate for travel but also on my DGX SS plate. I'll probably invest in an Oxycheq 1-piece STA for my DGX plate though.

Personal preference and because it is easier to pack for travel. I can basically separate the plate/wing/STA (with attached cambands) in about a minute and stow everything safely. The Oxycheq 2-piece STA system weighs almost nothing (8oz. total) and I can pack them in concentric circles, if that makes sense.

On my first dive using an STA, I realized I liked diving them better than just threading cambands through the plate itself. Obviously not required, but unless I go dive somewhere remote and have strict airline weight requirements, I'll be sticking with STA's.

Deep 6 bonanza!

1. Deep 6 plates (steel and aluminum), with a Halcyon STA and removable weight insert. This lets me easily adjust the amount of weight on my back for different suit thicknesses. I also like using the STA because it lets me easily detach the wing so that I can fill it with water and shake it around a bunch to rinse the inside post-dive without also having to shake 10 lbs of metal at the same time.
2. Deep 6 30lb wing
3. Deep 6 coated webbing harnesses. I have one harness on my steel plate that's adjusted to fit my drysuit + undergarments, set up Hogarthian style. The other is attached to my aluminum plate, adjusted for my 5mm, and sports a pair of Dive Rite integrated weight pockets so I don't need a separate weight belt.
4. Deep 6 Signature 1st stage, DIN variant. I also have a DIN-to-yoke adapter for travel.
5. Deep 6 Signature 2nd stages. I have an orange one on an orange 7 ft hose for my primary, and a black one on a 24" black hose that I keep on a homemade bungee necklace. I don't have a canister light, so the long hose gets tucked under a delrin rod threaded through my waist strap.
6. Shearwater Teric with transmitter on my right wrist, and an Oceanic Geo 2.0 on my left arm as a backup.
7. Deep 6 2.5" Imperial SPG, on a 24" hose clipped to a D-ring on my left hip.
8. Apart from the aforementioned hoses, I also have a 22" BC inflator hose, and whatever hose came with my drysuit (some kind of SiTech hose of unknown length with a quick-on attachment mechanism).
