Dive Rite Single Tank Adapter
Overview
The Dive Rite Single Tank Adapter (STA) provides a secure, streamlined way to mount a single scuba cylinder to a compatible backplate and wing system. Its refined shape and bend angles are designed to cradle common 7–7.25 inch diameter cylinders, including AL80s and medium-sized steel tanks, for improved cylinder stability.
Constructed from highly polished 316 marine-grade stainless steel, the adapter positions the cylinder lower and closer to the diver to help reduce profile in the water. It is especially useful for divers who regularly switch between single-cylinder and double-cylinder configurations.

Expert Insight

By refining the cradle shape around common cylinder diameters and positioning the tank closer to the diver, it provides a more stable and streamlined single-tank configuration while making it easy to transition back to doubles when needed.
