In Reply to: A big THANK YOU to everyone who got a Freedom Plate posted by Eric S on October 26, 2007 at 20:35:01:

Although you don't hear it, I thank you every time I gear up and don't "feel" the weight of the tank on my back. Perhaps I notice the stability of your plate more because I'm not as strong as you guys are, but it certainly makes those trudges down the beach and over rocks a lot easier. I wonder if more newly certified women divers would stick with diving if they had your plate instead of a bc. It's streamlined design is perfect for our smaller torsos.
