Thanks Simon, I have an OMS ali, and a Bruce Stewart s/s plate. Bruce manufactures gear and sells on the net here in Australia., www.triton-dive.com I had this discusion with George I about shorter plates for women. He said Pina uses the same size plate. But Bruces are longer than an OMS. Hence I wondered what the dimensions of the Halcyon (=industry standard) are. I am trying to talk my wife into a backplate and wing, for recreational diving. Hence I thought I would nail the dimensions for once and all. Sus is 5 foot tall and about 95 lbs. BTW Simon, you have a nice site.
