Backplate is a seperate part of scuba diving bcds, we have 316 stainless backplate, Aluminum backplate and plastic backplate, most of our customers prefer the best quality 316SS backplate for scuba bcds. Grade 316 stainless steel is passivated, which prevents oxidation.

A backplate is usually a solid piece that is hard and placed on the back of the device next to the tank. The backplates are usually designed with some specifications like some may have bends at the base, which helps to offer an ergonomic curve that makes the diver feel more comfortable. Technically, the backplate will be made either in aluminum, stainless steel or in plastic. For the plastic backplates, they are usually made extra strong, in order to be tough enough inside water. For the aluminum plates, they have a coating that ensures they do not catch rust while underwater. The main aim of the backplates is to offer more support to the device and the scuba tank.
