I have an OMS IQ pack with backplate etc.... I have been told the IQ pack can be used without a backplate as a lightweight travel BC . Has anyone done this? It looks like there is a place for straps...

I could be wrong but i don't think my IQ has slots cut into it for the straps to thread through. You have to use a STA, at minimum, as the means to secure your tank to the IQ. I'll check tonite but i'm pretty sure about that.No Fish once bubbled...
That is why I was curious. So I undertand that if you want to use it without the backplate and STA you would just put the straps through the slots, bladder, etc and then , obviously, around your tank. I would think this to be uncomfortable on your back..........
