I travel a bit around the world, mainly in tropical or equatorial waters. I do not use an Air II because I bring my reg as carry on luggage. Luggage gets handled rouh (or lost, or opened ...). Otherwise, I have a Kydex backplate from DSS with a 20lb wing that I keep separated when travelling. The setup is very compact and light in my backpack. I also use a dive alert on my BC as I dive from boats far from shore and I have an SMB bungeed at the bottom of the plate.
