Rachel Tan –
Is the harness compatible with all brands of backplates or just Dive Rite backplates?
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Rachel, the Dive Rite Transplate Harness is designed to be compatible with all standard backplates, not just Dive Rite ones. If you have a specific backplate in mind, let us know and we can confirm the fit.
Lim Wei Jie –
The Transplate Harness was quite comfortable even during a long 70-minute dive. The quick-release buckles made removal much easier than my old harness, especially with a thick wetsuit. Would have liked slightly more adjustability in the sternum strap, but overall really solid build quality.

Thank you, Wei Jie, for your feedback and positive comments on the comfort and quick-release feature. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the sternum strap adjustability and will share it with our product team.
Hafiz Mahmud –
The padding on the shoulders and back made a huge difference in comfort during my training dives. No sore spots, and it was easy to adjust even underwater. Price is a bit high, but the quality and durability seem worth it.
