Heavier Backplate

[badmrchris]

I currently have a ~SS Halcyon 5lb backplate, but since I am of, ah, larger stature I was looking into purchasing a heavier one. I saw one somewhere that was about 8 lbs but I can't seem to find it now.

Anyone have an idea where I can find somehting like this?

DSS with the additoinal weight plates (meant only for single tank use): http://www.deepseasupply.com/page8.html

And I've heard FredT on this board makes heavy plates. I'm sure there are others.

You could always add a channel or v-weight.

Hammerhead Scuba has a nice heavy one and you add the single tank adapter and you're around 11 lbs. - I use this rig and no extra weights (of course I have no body fat) Their website apparently is down (www.hammerheadscuba.com) so maybe have to find them another way, I think they're in Florida!

Contact FredT here on the board - he makes several heavier plates up to 20# I believe - I have the specs of many of his plates listed here http://www.kidspot.org/personal/scuba/bpwing.html

I have a 12 pounder I may be looking to move soon.

Add a channel weight and a weighted sta......That should bring you to around 15 lbs. You could then mount 2 med Oxycheq weight pouches to the cam bands for an additional 10lbs.

They are in PA, not FL. I was just considering ordering a HH, and now the site is down, or at least I hope it's down rather than them folding up shop!

I'm there for you when you look to move it. I could use a nice heavy plate. And, I have this thing about purchasing new plates
