It doesn't get more "minimal" than this. No wing, no inflator hose. Just a tank straped to the driver's back.
It was "The Standard" up until about the 1970's and is still widly used. The idea is that you weight yourself perfectly. On the surface you will float at eye level because the wetsuit is not compressed and then at depth you are neutral. really the same exact thing as free diving. Both free divers and backpack scuba divers use "just enough" weight to stay down when down and up when up.

How does that work with double 130's and a couple of stages?
Getting back to pockets,a pocket on the waistbelt can do double duty.
1) As a pocket. Duh!
2)As a convenient place to hook a long hose when diving without a can light.
