        Description

        The most hydrodynamic Bottom Plate on the market 

        • Hydrodynamic shape to drastically reduce drag while pulling the plate up thanks to its compact shape and wide holes

        • Ø 21cm,  yellow fluo plate for a great visibility underwater

        • Quick and robust mounting system (3 Phillips 316 stainless steel screws)

        • Weight: 140 grams 

        • Material: ultra robust ABS (thermoplastic polymer, same as our line stopper)


        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!    

        The new OCTOPUS bottom plate: a simple and efficient design for an unbeatable quality!  

        Designed and tested by Swiss record holder Pascal Berger (-131m VWT ).
