Stainless Steel Backplate DTD

Impeccable CNC finish and maximum stability for your technical setup.

The stainless steel backplate produced by DTD (Dive Soft / Dive To Dive) is an absolute benchmark in the world of DIR technical diving. Known for the superior quality of its materials and meticulous attention to construction details, this backplate ensures perfect trim and exceptional stability for the tank or twinset, while also acting as fixed ballast positioned exactly at the diver's center of gravity.

Superior Finish and Construction Excellence:

Unlike standard models, DTD backplates stand out due to a unique manufacturing process:

• CNC Chamfering: All external edges and internal slots for harness passage are precisely chamfered using CNC milling machines.
• Final Manual Polishing: Every single sharp edge is reworked and polished by hand. This process completely eliminates any metallic micro-burr, zeroing the risk of tearing, cutting, or premature wear of the harness webbing or wetsuit.

Three Variants for Every Trim and Body Type Requirement:

Choose the ideal thickness and size based on your thermal protection and height:

Standard 3 mm Version (Weight ~2.22 kg)

The classic choice for technical diving. It offers granite-like structural rigidity and the ideal weight to balance most configurations without excessive fixed ballast.

• Dimensions: 398 mm (Length) x 260 mm (Width)

Heavy-Duty 6 mm Version (Weight ~4.60 kg)

The ultimate solution for those diving in cold waters with trilaminate drysuits and heavy undersuits. It allows nearly 5 kg of ballast to be moved directly onto the back, eliminating or drastically reducing lead on the belt for perfect hydrodynamic trim.

• Dimensions: 398 mm (Length) x 260 mm (Width)

3 mm SHORT Version (Weight ~1.78 kg)

Specifically redesigned in geometry for smaller divers (generally under 165 cm) or women. It prevents the plate from touching the lumbar area or buttocks, improving ergonomics and posture in the water.

• Dimensions: 355 mm (Length) x 238 mm (Width)

Common Technical Specifications:

• Material: High-quality Stainless Steel (highly resistant to salt water and corrosion).
• Center Hole Spacing: Standard 280 mm (11 inches), compatible with all technical wings (Donut/Wing) and single tank adapters (STA) on the market.
• Slotting: Standard DIR configuration for 50 mm (2 inches) webbing, complete with holes for attaching accessory pockets, bungees, or trim weights.

Why choose DTD?

The precision of the cuts and the manual mirror polish place the DTD plate in the highest segment of the market. The finish of the webbing passages is so smooth that it makes harness adjustment or replacement operations extremely fluid, ensuring virtually infinite equipment durability.
