Why is it better to train with a bottom plate?Get used to grabbing a tag during some of your training sessions. It will help you reduce the « tag stress » during your competitions by making this step « almost » automatic.
It works perfectly with a 10 to 12mm rope.It is possible to use it with smaller ropes down to 8mm.
Regarding the mounting process, the bottom plate is divided in 3 parts. A plate and a center structure (identical to our safety stopper). A simple knot is placed in its center, and 3 stainless steel screws (standard cross-head) make it easy to finish putting it in place. It is made out of ABS, a strong plastic used for example to make LEGOs: after all, we are just big kids playing in the water!

Very soft neoprene, and very good overall cut. For a 3.5mm you have a very good range of motion. Very good thermic confort at 26 c°. A very good wetsuit !!
The glasses are really excellent!!
The shipping via FEDEX was super fast.
The seller always gave me support to make the purchase, making me feel very safe.
I will probably buy other diving items from them.
I used my new evolve goggles in the Vertical Green Auckland New Zealand competition on the weekend to a depth of 40 m and found them excellent. I am disappointed that the promised nose clip did not come with the goggles when they arrived and I have had no response to an email I sent regarding the nose clip. Awaiting your reply.
