I just purchased a dive rite back plate, and was wondering if there was anyone who knows if there is a pocket for this plate. If you are familiar with the Halcyon back plate and wings you will know what I'm talking about, they have this nice pocket that sits between your back and the plate. It is nice to stuff a SMB in once you've deployed it. I was just wondering if anyone knows if there is a custom job out there for this plate.

I just bought the Diverite getup last night. I was wondering the same thing, I didnt see anything on their website but I saw that OMS has them. I cant hardly believe you couldnt addapt one.
 
I may be mistaken, but I think the item to which you refer is a back pad that incorporates a pocket and which can be attached to the back plate. OMS offers something of the same type.
 
I just made a pad to attach with velcro for the times i am just diving skins or a t shirt but with a shorty or 3/2 i find i really dont need it.

Have dove in my 1mm and found no trouble with the plate after several hours of use. As for that backpad/pocket - can you really stuff much in there if you have bolts and wingnuts going through the BP? Many people i know stow their liftbags at the base of their BPs in one way or another (many use quick links). IF you are after other types of pockets, there is a full selection that can slide onto your waist band if you need places for tables, spare mask, safety sausage, whatever else (also put in for those others reading this who might be thinking that you can put pockets on a harness as i have read many people state as a reason they wouldnt buy a BP/W - "doesnt have the pockets of my jacket" type reasoning).
 
Thanks for all of your replies. I am going to assume that no one makes a pocket for the diverite back plate. A LDS in Miami is getting someone to custom make on for that plate but there isn't a prototype yet. Thanks and for the time being I think I'll go with the Halcyon setup because it has everything I want.
