Smallest, Lightest BP/W System Possible

Do you have the travel plate or the signature?

i believe it's the signature, pic attached

I think the OP is primarily concerned about buoyancy. That UltraLite looks... puffy, so might be what they want. One could also add neoprene padding to most any harness or plate to improve a negatively buoyant situation.

Not necessarily concerned about buoyancy. I don't think the traditional travel rigs are too negative, but rather more cumbersome on the surface for packing, etc..

Hold off for a little bit. I may have something special coming from Helium Dive ;-)

I have the Helium Dive Ti BP. While not inexpensive, it is nicely made and will be the last warm water BP you ever buy.

The UltraLite is a flat fiber plate. .

There is nothing "puffy" about the Oxy Ultra Lite plate. It is as small and light and minimal as nearly possible. And, when used as intended for tropical and warm water diving with aluminum 80s/63s etc, it is very stable. Heavy, negative steel tanks may tend to roll a little bit. The plate weighs about 6 ounces and does not add any buoyancy at all. I have been using mine for years. Currently my wife and I mostly use the VDH universal mini-plate but I am rigging her up an Ultra Lite as we speak.

The picture in your link shows what I took to be stitch marks, and the text doesn't specify any material at all. However, I gladly yield to those with firsthand knowledge. Sorry for any confusion I may have introduced.

lean to the point where I need little to no weight in warm waters.

I'm confused then. Are you primarily interested in decreasing weight and volume in your luggage?
