New backplates available soon

[Eric Sedletzky]

As many of you know, I have designed and built a radically new stainless steel backpack for single tank recreational diving. It is the most streamlined minimalist plate and harness available to date and holds the tank as close as possible to your body giving you the most stability, streamlining, and shoulder blade movement possible. I have thought out every detail in this design and I think you will be amazed at how comfortable these rigs are to dive with.
I will have 8 hand made prototypes ready to demo in the next 2 weeks. They will be set up with Oxycheq 30# signature series single tank wings. A crotch strap is not necessary but I did put a slot in the plate as an option. They have no quick releases on the shoulder straps but I can put one on for those that want it. They also have standard inflators so those using an air 2 will have to find a regular octo set up to use.

I would like to set up some beach dives in Monterey to start with and give people an opportunity to test dive these rigs.
I will loosely plan on doing a demo in 2 weeks from this coming weekend.

I can't wait to meet and dive with many people on this list.

Thank you

I am certainly interested in trying one out. I wasn't planning on going to monterey that weekend but I just might have to!

These plates are incredible. I dove with ZKY about two weeks ago and had the opportunity to see it in action. It is the most streamlined setup I have ever seen. Unlike a regular backplate it actually molds to your body and keeps the tank in perfect position.


ZKY, you defintely need to get some pics up of these.

Is this demo a first come first serve kinda affair? I live in Monterey so would definitely be into checking out the new plates if you come down this way.
