Metalsub Aluminium Backplate

METALSUB Aluminium Backplate | Lightweight & Versatile BCD Component

Discover the core of a truly modular and high-performance diving system with the METALSUB Aluminium Backplate. Engineered for the discerning diver who demands flexibility, reliability, and a streamlined profile, this backplate serves as the ultimate foundation for your wing-style BCD setup. It is a technical aluminum plate for diving with wings, light and die-cut for all types of configurations.

Built to withstand the rigors of saltwater diving, the plate is crafted from a hi-tech aluminum with a specific anti-corrosion treatment for marine saltpeter. This ensures exceptional longevity and maintains its structural integrity and finish, dive after dive, even in the most demanding marine environments.

Key Benefits for the Modern Diver

The primary advantage of the METALSUB Aluminium Backplate is its remarkable combination of low weight and robust strength. It is significantly lighter than traditional steel plates, making it the ideal choice for the traveling diver. Reduce your excess baggage fees and enjoy easier handling of your gear without compromising on the stability and performance essential for technical and recreational diving. Its meticulously planned design promotes a streamlined profile in the water, reducing drag and allowing for more efficient propulsion and better gas consumption. This translates to longer, more comfortable dives with superior trim and buoyancy control.

Advanced Features of these Plates

Versatility is at the heart of the METALSUB design. These plates are precision die-cut with a comprehensive array of slots and holes to accommodate virtually any harness and accessory configuration. Multiple slots are provided for standard 2-inch (50mm) webbing, allowing for a fully customized harness fit, including shoulder, waist, and crotch straps. Additional strategically placed holes are perfect for mounting accessories such as SMB deployment pouches, canister light holders, argon bottle mounts, and other essential technical diving equipment. The design also incorporates slots for single-tank adapter (STA) straps or cam bands, enabling secure attachment of a single cylinder for recreational dives, while remaining perfectly suited for twinset (doubles) configurations. The edges are smoothly finished to prevent premature wear on your harness webbing and exposure suit.
