Rated 5 out of 5

Excellent back-plate for warm water trips and will last *forever*

This is an awesome back-plate to travel with, especially for warm water diving using minimal weight. For tropical diving I prefer to bring my gear in a carry on bag. Its amazing how much a difference it makes to travel with the lite back plate instead of my heavy one.

The next generation of lightweight back-plates has arrived. Dive Rite has taken the reliability of the stainless-steel back-plate and combined it with the light weight characteristics of non-stainless-steel back-plate. The new Dive Rite XT Lite is constructed from 16-guage 316L grade stainless-steel, which is a low carbon, rust resistant grade of stainless. A series of cut-outs along the body of the plate reduce its overall weight while still maintaining the support needed for the heaviest of double cylinder configurations. All edges are laser cut, and individually finished by hand to ensure that there are no rough or jagged edges anywhere on the plate.

The XT Lite Back-Plate is configured with 11" (27.94cm) on-center mounting holes to accommodate standard double tank bolt kits, including two holes for the upper bolt to give adjustability of tank height. Two sets of 2" (5cm) slots along the center allow divers to use the XT Lite for single tank diving without the need for a single tank adapter. A series of 3/8" (.953cm) diameter holes and 1" (2.54cm) slots along the outer edges of the plate give different options for mounting lights, pony bottles, lift bags, and other accessories. 2" (5cm) and 1" (2.54cm) slots at the bottom center of the plate allow for any size crotch strap up to 2" (5cm) in width to be used. The back-plate weighs 41.4 oz (1174g) measures 10.5" (26.7cm) at widest point x 15" (39.4cm) with a contoured depth of 1.25" (3.2 m). The Dive Rite Back Plate is proudly made in the U.S.A.
