Tips   When diving the TransPlate a single tank adapter is not required, however some divers prefer for added weight or stability. XT Lite Backplate The next generation of lightweight backplates has arrived.  Dive Rite has taken the reliability of the stainless steel backplate and combined it with the light weight characteristics of non-stainless steel  backplates.  The new Dive Rite XT Lite is constructed from 16 gauge 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 backplate is configured with 11" on center mounting holes to accommodate standard double tank bolt kits, including two holes for the upper bolt to give user adjustability of tank height.  Two sets of 2" 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" diameter holes and 1" slots along the outer edges of the plate give different options for mounting lights, pony bottles, lift bags, and other accessories.  2" and 1" slots at the bottom center of the plate allow for any size crotch strap up to 2" in width to be used.  Made in the USA. Travel EXP Wing A lightweight wing designed for single-tank, warm water diving, our Travel series of wings are small-profile and ideal for travel and divers who wear a minimal amount of weight. At 25lbs/11.3 kg of lift, the Travel can accommodate one 80ft3/12 L tank with no more than 16lbs. of additional weight.   With its donut-shape, the Travel wing provides greater stability and control in the water. Donut-style or 360 degree wings promote an even volume of inflation on top, sides and bottom, which improves buoyancy control and promotes a more efficient, horizontal trim.   Divers may choose from our value-driven and durable 1680 ballistic nylon EXP material or our SuperFabric® brand technology XT material that we’ve married with a 1000 denier Cordura® inner shell to create an armor-clad outer bag that is impervious to damaging pinches and cuts. Both the Travel EXP (Model BC 4100) and Travel XT (Model 5100) are further enhanced with a heavy-duty, 210 denier nylong laminated bladder.

Streamlined side panels and a minimalist, oval shape create a higher-lift wing that remains unobtrusive instead of bulky. This is ideal for divers with larger statures or those who dive in cold water and/or require more weight. The Voyager accommodates up to one 95ft3/15 L tank with 35lbs/15.8 kg of lift.     With its donut-shape, the Voyager wing provides greater stability and control in the water.

As with most Halcyon products, an immense amount of behind-the-scenes work is required to create a plate we are proud to sell. Halcyon backplates have been refined over the years to provide the highest-quality finish and materials available. Small details like the unique bends near the bottom of the plate create an ergonomic curve, increasing diver comfort. Meanwhile our precise fabrication process ensures the quality you have come to expect from Halcyon. Each Halcyon backplate is cut from the highest quality stainless steel and sophisticated CNC machines mill every edge; this detailed process eliminates the sharp edges common with competitors’ plates. Machine polishing is augmented by individual handwork, perfecting both form and function.  Key Features of the Halcyon Backplate Constructed from high-grade, polished Stainless Steel  Carefully milled surfaces eliminate sharp edges Available in two sizes, both are compatible with any Halcyon BC component Standard: 6-lb. (2.7kg) Stainless Steel  Standard-size plates are 15.5” X 10.25” (39.3cm x 26cm) Small: 5-lb. (2.26kg) Stainless Steel  Small plate measure 14” x 9.25” (35.5 cm x 23.5cm) Utility holes allow mating with Storage Pak to stow a variety of lift devices as well as the small Halcyon dry suit inflation kit   OPTIONAL:    Halcyon Secure Harness   The Halcyon Secure Harness provides an infinitely adjustable fit, eliminating the uncomfortable movement found in conventional “jacket” buoyancy compensators. This perfectly tailored fit means that divers of all sizes can enjoy a custom diving configuration that supports unparalleled stability and diving comfort. Moreover, this unique system is easily convertible, allowing one to adjust buoyancy or quickly switch from singles to doubles. Regardless of your future aspirations, this flexibility means your diving system can grow with you. From your first open-water dive to your 100th deep dive, Halcyon is with you all the way. Key Features of the Secure Harness Secure, continuous webbing provides a custom fit; eliminates unwanted tank movement Pre-bent shoulder D-rings facilitate quick storage of accessories from Scout lights to stage bottles Complete adjustability of D-rings eliminates inappropriate attachment points. EPDM elastic bands help secure accessories SS waist buckle Adjustable crotch strap enhances stability, nearly eliminating unwanted tank movement.

Greg Flanagan first invented the metal backplate using aluminum in 1979 for North Florida cave divers. He realized that a back-mounted buoyancy system gives a diver natural balance in the water, due to the diver's center of gravity (tanks) being surrounded by the center of buoyancy (BC wings). Plus, the diver gains a clean chest area with room for gear attachment points on the harness. Bill Hogarth Main went on to popularize the backplate and harness and dive purists who follow the DIR philosophy have come to embrace what is known today as the "Hogarthian Rig." Dive Rite began manufacturing backplates for the public in 1984 and pioneered 11-inch on center bolt spacing creating an industry standard that is still followed today. Northeastern wreck divers adapted the concept and began using a stainless steel backplate; at six pounds in weight, it is ideal to counterbalance buoyancy characteristics of thick drysuit exposure protection. Eleven-inch on center holes accommodate standard double tank bolt kits. Holes along the perimeter of the plate allow for mounting lights, pony bottles, lift bags and other accessories. One-inch and 2-inch slots permit diver's choice of crotch straps. Two 3/8-inch slots along the bottom are designed to fit screws for attaching lift bag sleeves, sidemount butt plates or other accessories. Two-inch slots along the center allow single-tank divers to use cam straps without a single tank adaptor. Grade 304 stainless steel is passivated, which prevents oxidation. Tech Specs   5.5 lbs (2.5kg) 11-inch on center holes accomodate standard bolt kits Two 3/8 slots along the bottom are designed to fit assembly screws for attaching accessories. Center slots accommodate cam straps without a single tank adaptor One-inch and 2-inch slots permit diver's choice of crotch strap Perimeter holes for mounting lights, pony bottles and lift bags All edges are smooth and rounded to eliminate sharp edges and prevent abrasion to harness webbing.
