Why pack your backplate and wing? I've modded my carryon to fit onto my backplate. It's all-in-there .... wetsuit, regulator, fins, mask, gloves, booties and everything I need (clothes/toiletries) for a week or more. Here's a pic coming back through Hong Kong after 12 days in PNG. It fits easily in the overhead and will even fit in the overhead of a regional jet (lengthwise). Works with either my Deep Sea Supply kydex plate or my Halcyon stainless steel plate. I usually only bring my SS plate when I'm diving dry.
