The Stainless Steel Backplate is now offered in a “short” size. Ideal for women or any diver with a shorter torso length, the short plate has an overall length of 13.5 inches which is 1.5 inches shorter than the standard size. All features are the same as the standard plate except that there is only one bolt hole position, and the 1-inch crotch strap slot was eliminated to save space. The short backplate is still 100% compatible with the Dive Rite Single Tank Adapter (STA), and all Dive Rite wings and harnesses.
