The best place to start is with a Hogarth-inspired singles
set-up.

I made one for a fresh OW diver: plastic backpack (like
the plastic back-pack insert from some older bc's), 
hogarth webbing, a little zeagle mini-wing, 3 billyrings, 
quick-release buckle, & crotch stap. Octopus on bungy
neck strap. Weightbelt.

Very, small, very clean, very slick, very easy.

I dive the same myself on recreational dives - minus
the wing (I dive dry).
