I was really impressed with how well the Dive Rite Backplate Pads performed during my underwater expedition. The added cushioning made a huge difference in my mobility and comfort while diving.
Celine Lee –
I’ve been using the Dive Rite Backplate Pads for a few months now and the only minor issue I have is that they tend to shift a bit when I’m diving at high speeds. However, it’s not a deal-breaker.
Renee Wong –
These pads have been a game-changer for my dives. The padding is just right and not too thick, making it easy to move around without restriction. I highly recommend them to anyone.
Kaitlyn Wong –
I am still a bit skeptical about whether the added weight of the pads would slow me down, but so far I have had no issues.
Evelyn Tan –
It was so easy to set up the pad and it stayed in place perfectly during each dive. What I liked most about it was the durability, it seems to be able to withstand even the toughest conditions.
Aaron Tan –
Does anyone know if these pads can withstand extreme water pressure? I’m planning a deep-sea dive soon and I’m worried about them not being able to handle it.
Kathleen Goh –
Have they considered making these pads with some extra grip? I find that they can be a bit slippery when wet, which can be quite a hazard during dives.

Eva Wong –
I was a bit skeptical about the weight of these pads, but they’re actually really lightweight! What was a bit disappointing was that they took a bit to break in (around a week), but once they did, they were super comfortable.
Cindy Lee –
Does this Dive Rite Backplate Pads come in different sizes?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Cindy! Unfortunately, our previous supplier stopped carrying the Dive Rite Backplate Pads. However, their latest model is offered in small (12-14 inches) and large (16-18 inches) sizes.
Julian Tan –
Can you tell me more about how long these pads take to break in?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Julian! The Dive Rite Backplate Pads are designed to be durable and long-lasting. However, they do require a short break-in period to mold to the shape of your backplate. This process typically takes 1-3 dives, depending on the user’s comfort level and the specific diving conditions. By the fourth or fifth dive, the pads should be fully molded and provide optimal comfort and support. If you’re concerned about the break-in period or have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Junhao Lo –
Hello Samantha, thank you for your question about our Dive Rite Backplate Pads. While our Dive Rite Backplate Pads are designed with comfort in mind, we would recommend them for intermediate to advanced scuba divers. As a beginner, we suggest starting with a more basic diving system to get a feel for the equipment and techniques before moving on to more advanced components like our Dive Rite Backplate Pads. If you’re new to scuba diving, we encourage you to consult with a diving instructor for guidance and advice on diving gear. Our Dive Rite Backplate Pads are also designed to work seamlessly with other Dive Rite components, so it’s worth exploring our full range to see what else we have to offer.
