Several years ago, I made a trip to Indonesia, and stayed at Kungkungen Bay Resort (wonderful place, BTW). My husband and I had backplate and wing setups. It was clear, on the first day, that they had never seen such a thing before, because I found that the crew had mounted the tank on the side of the plate where the harness was. I'm not quite sure how they thought I was going to wear it.
At any rate, about two years later, another diver showed up at the resort with a backplate. The DM looked at him and said, "Oh, do you know Lynne?" (Clearly, there are only three backplate divers in the world, and we must all know one another.)
Of course, the diver in question was my friend Bob Bailey, and he DID know Lynne!
