What were the DGX and Piranha BPs made of? Did the LP plate just wear out or dissolve completely?
the lp plate has some weird surface staining/corrosion that i haven't seen on my other plates. haven't had the same issue with the dgx plate and oms plate that are both passivated. pretty sure those are also 304.
I got my Blue Reef SS BP from LP in May, 2016. So, I've had it well over a year and done a decent # of salt water dives with it, plus a bunch more quarry and pool dives. This is what it looks like right now. I only give it a decent fresh water dunk after salt water dive weekends. Otherwise, just hang it up to dry when I get home.
I am 6'1" and almost in between sizes. Do I go with the medium or large?
I am also 6' 1". I have a Large DSS SS BP and a Medium DSS Kydex BP. I have used the SS for single and double tank. I have used the Kydex only for doubles. I don't notice any difference between them when in use (other than the weight, of course).
I have just scored a Freedom Contour back plate. Once that arrives, it and my HOG 23 # wing will become my exclusive single tank rig and my DSS SS BP (with bolt-on weight plates) will be up for sale. I sold the DSS wing I had a year or so ago. Not long after I got the HOG wing.
