Backmount is a type of scuba diving equipment configuration where the scuba tank is mounted on the diver's back. This setup typically uses a harness and a backplate to secure the tank, allowing for better weight distribution and stability while diving. It is commonly used in recreational diving and technical diving due to its streamlined design. This configuration is often preferred for its ease of use and comfort. Divers can easily access their equipment and manage buoyancy. Backmount systems can accommodate single or multiple tanks, making them versatile for various diving conditions and experiences, including those involving cave diving or wreck diving.
