I'm trying to get Custom Divers to do me something similar for my rig. Deep sea Supply make a nice tail plate, but stockists are few and far between over here.

The rings on the harness tended to bruise my arms, so the last time I sent my drysuit back to DUI I had them install padding where the rings hit. It's made all the difference. I think the harness rings and/or the crotch strap rings are Deep Sea's.
 
My bailout attaches in a sort of modified side mount. I use a nomad butt plate but use a bungee with a bolt snap i thread around the neck of the bottle under the regulator. I have seen people who just loop the bungee over the tank valve have the tank fallout when making entry in rough conditions in the ocean so I prefer the bungee threaded around the neck under the reg. Keeps it secure and yet still pulls the tank up and out of the way while diving, plenty of mobility to pull the tank forward to access it.
 
I have pink webbing and sparkly jet fins.
 
i would love sparkly jet fins!

i have a pink sidemount helmet with pink backup lights. i have a sticker on my tank that says 'flirty, dirty, and nerdy'. i have 80s style paint-splatter hot covers thanks to my reg tech bf. right now i'm using the hard shackle/bungee combo with a choker on the tank as the connection - some give due to the bungee but can't come off, which i worry about. i have a fauxmad which the dear bf made me. at first, it tried to kill me, but i think i've whipped it into submission at this point.
 
My day-glo yellow wreck gloves...

...and my impromptu indie-doubles, cam-banded mounted on a Custom Divers backplate. It's the only backplate I've owned that really takes twin cam-bands nicely without resorting to extra metalware. Holds AL80s nice and snug and allows me to get on any dive boat and do what I want, without the logistic and financial headaches.

...and my ancient Custom Divers TDB, that goes with it, which is converted from twin to single bladder, bleached with bird crud, faded battered, worn, patched...and still indestructible and utterly reliable.

I feel like such a clone when I dive with manifolded doubles and my Evolve. :rofl3:
 
my ow setup...

2" webbing, few D-rings, and a tank... :popcorn:

I have a G sticker on all my tanks. There was a time when even my fins had a G sticker.

I carry spring spring strap buckles carved out of hockey pucks.
