Why Choose Stainless Steel Over Aluminum or Carbon Fiber?

While aluminum and carbon fiber are lightweight, a stainless steel backplate offers key advantages for divers who demand more from their gear:

• 💪 Strength & durability: Handles rough environments and frequent use with ease
• ⚖️ Built-in ballast: Helps trim your weight distribution – less lead needed on your belt
• 🌊 Corrosion resistance: Long-lasting performance, even in harsh saltwater conditions
• 🧱 Stable configuration: Adds stability to your tank setup, especially when diving with twins

If you’re serious about your diving setup, the OMS SS Backplate is a cornerstone you can rely on for years to come.
