Has anyone ever tried one of these on a single tank for a dive?

can't see how it's going to be any lower profile than aregular baclplate. Looks like it's about the same profile. The only thing it that this does not need an STA.

The benefit comes from it being lighter for travelling rather than the profile.

It has additional benefits for CCR divers, but I wondered how comfortable it would be for OC.

Can anyone who has dived it comment?

A Halcyon bp with pioneer wing does not need an STA either.For traveling I would go for an aluminium bp, same model (does not take up much room in luggage, but sadly an SS BP takes up a lot of weight-allowance)
