backplate

Hello Scuba Board community, I'm about to purchase my first BP/W setup and due to a lot of older threads im quite sure what kind of setup I want to get. The only question I still have is what backplate marterial should I get? Im based in South East Asia so I wont need anything thicker than a 3mm...

Hi All, Can anyone advise on the best backplate for me based on the below: I’m currently living in Bali and the only options here are Apeks or Halycon. Halycon is out of my budget and shipping from abroad is also out of the question, unknown Import tax, dodgy delivery systems etc. So this...

I could not resist this vintage plastic backplate from I think the 1980’s? Anyone know? Added a slot for crotch strap and switched my harness to it, very comfortable! Orange! Yes!

I've noticed a lot of wings and backplates now come with slots for cam bands, Some wings even have tank bumpers built in. So, what is the need for a single tank adapter? What exactly is the function of an STA? I have now dived several times without an STA, using just the slots for my cam...

The plate is 1/8" thick and the STA is 3/16" stick... Stainless steel, not aluminum! I've seen the thick plates around but that STA is really cool!

I'm hoping to reach out to anyone who has done their Rescue Diver course in a BP/W. I'm taking my course at the end of May and I'm being somewhat "pressured" into wearing a jacket BC for the course. :( The trouble is that my wife has no idea how to pull the harness off of me in the water. (And...

A few weeks ago a friend told me that he could cut a plate for me using a water jet machine, and that got my wheels turning on designing my own DIR style backplate. I took to the Inter-web and found Huw Porter's design, and made an AutoCAD file based on his, then went to modifying it as I...

I am returning to diving after stopping for 20 years. Still a beginner as I did OW and Advanced training, but only about thirty dives. After reading a lot to catch up, I am interested in going towards the backplate / wing combination, and eventually doing the GUE recreational Fundamental Skills...

Hi guys, My actual question is regarding whether a 5kg P-Weight will be too heavy, but some background first: I'm a cold water diver (read: I wear a 5mm Neoprene Drysuit) Currently dive on Seac Pro 2000 BCD (old version - very heavy. Not tested it's inherent buoyancy, but I suspect it's close...

Looking to purchase an alluminum backplate and a wing in the 25-30lb range

I just purchased an OMS backplate from someone off Craigslist and discovered upon getting home that there are no vertical slots for cam bands. I had never seen a backplate without these before so I didn't think to look. This is a problem since (at least for now) I'm exclusively diving...
