Wozplate on a Boris

Ive swapped the joke of a custom divers harness (which was more like some S&M outfit with all its metal rings) for a normal harness which may have cut the weight a little.

Im curious as to why people would swap the original plate. The Wozplate is 4kg so its heavier than the original - is that the reason? To remove weight from the weightbelt? Or is there an advantage Im missing?

As I travel a lot with my unit I want the lightest plate I can get.

I travel mostly by car with mine Mike, and I only need 3 kgs to dive the unit with my umbilical torch attached, I put a kilo in each of the top weight pouches and if I can get a heavier plate I can reduce the need to carry an extra kilo in my waist pocket.

Having said that, all of that is hardly difficult anyway............

Where did you see this ? I want one...

AL, ABS or plastic (from Deepseasupply) back plates are very light also.

What are the benefits of the Wozplate over the standard?

It's got more bend in it so the hoses can be routed nicely round it. And it's heavier. And if you want it pimpin' if you can produce it in Word, I can beadblast any name or logo into it.

Maximum Bad.

Well here it is complete with WozKnobs. Has yet to be decked out with webbing but you can see how it sits. Very nicely, as it happens.
