IST DOLPHIN TECH Steel Backplate for BCD Jackets
The back plate is the heart of a technical buoyancy compensator. It provides the vital connection between a diver and his scuba, forming a stable and secure foundation for your entire diving system. Engineered for discerning divers who demand reliability and performance, the IST DOLPHIN TECH Steel Backplate is the definitive core for any modular BCD setup. Experience a new level of in-water stability and control as the plate´s substantial construction helps improve your trim and minimizes tank wobble, allowing for a more streamlined and efficient profile.
Individually press-formed for exceptional strength and consistency, this backplate is built to withstand the rigors of demanding dive environments, from deep wrecks to challenging cave systems. Meticulous attention to detail is evident in its design; all edges are carefully de-burred to protect your harness webbing and exposure suit from wear and tear, ensuring longevity for all your gear. This commitment to quality provides a smooth, snag-free finish that enhances both safety and comfort throughout your dive.
Versatility is paramount in its design. The DOLPHIN TECH back plate features precisely cut 5cm (2”) slots to accommodate standard harness webbing and a dedicated crotch strap, allowing you to create a perfectly tailored and unshakeable fit. Beyond the harness, the plate serves as a versatile mounting platform. It is equipped with 10 perimeter holes for attaching a wide array of additional equipment, such as stage bottles, lift bag pouches, and canister torches, enabling complete customization of your technical rig. Furthermore, with 3 sets of tank mounting holes positioned along the plate’s center line, divers are given the crucial option to fine-tune the tank-to-torso position, achieving optimal balance and comfort for any body type or dive configuration.
