I bought the Scubapro X-TEK Stainless Steel Back Plates to replace my old, worn-out ones. The new plates have made a huge difference in my diving experience – the reduced ballast weight has given me more maneuverability underwater. The price was a bit steep, but considering the quality and performance, it’s worth the investment.

I’ve used the Scubapro X-TEK Stainless Steel Back Plates for several dives now and I’m thoroughly impressed. The corrosion-resistant material has withstood the salty sea water with ease. However, I do wish it came with a carrying case to protect it during transport.

Are the Scubapro X-TEK Stainless Steel Back Plates made with any non-toxic materials?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question about the materials used in our Scubapro X-TEK Stainless Steel Back Plates. I can confirm that our back plates are made from corrosion-resistant AISI 316 stainless steel, which is a highly durable and resistant material. AISI 316 stainless steel is a non-toxic and hypoallergenic material, making it an excellent choice for underwater use. However, we would like to note that while the stainless steel is non-toxic, any cleaning products or chemicals used to clean the plate should be non-toxic as well to ensure the highest level of safety. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.
