Scubapro S-Tek Stainless Steel Backplate

The SCUBAPRO S-Tek Stainless Steel Backplate is the foundation of a serious technical diving setup. Stainless steel construction gives you inherent negative buoyancy, reducing the amount of ballast weight you need to carry — a meaningful advantage when you're already managing stage bottles, reels, and redundant systems. The plate itself is 3D formed with a curved central profile and fully radiused edges, so it sits against your back rather than digging into it — something you'll appreciate on long dives or extended bottom times. Practical details are well thought out: there are mounting points for trim weights to dial in your horizontal trim, a dedicated argon tank mounting point for drysuit divers, and a built-in carry handle for moving the assembled rig around the boat or dive site without awkward juggling.
