Does anyone actually tote their backplate to Turks, or Bonaire, or whereever else the water may be blue and perfect.
I understand all the arguments for such a rig... it just seems to me that a "normal" BC would be more appropriate for such diving. Granted, my experience is still as limited as downtown parking during rush-hour, but it seems to me someone using a BP/W to dive a 10 meter reef is much like a Marine who insists on using his Ka-Bar to julienne zucchini.
Not just overkill, you know?
