•Hydrodynamic shape to drastically reduce drag while pulling the plate upthanks 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!

I absolutely love deep evolves. Thanks to these goggles teaching has become very easy. I don’t need to pinch my nose, I can focus on my students, recording them and giving all my attention away :)
I didn’t know they were having the tattoos pattern and I really loved it. I just used them last weekend on my free diving training and they were great.
I love the color of the belt and the variety of color options offered. Love that the belt can be snapped aside so I don’t have the excess hanging in my way while diving, and especially love the ability to add attachments such as an O ring I purchased separately to store/carry my snorkel. Genius design!
I have had these fins for 4.5 years now, and I'm going to be purchasing again. They look great, and they work great. My gear gets banged up pretty good from boats and rocks and these have held up wonderfully.
My Bad! I recently found that the foot pockets have stretched out. I live on Kauai and this summer was a hot one! I typically store these hanging by the foot pockets. I think the combination of heat and gravity on the heel was enough to stretch it. They work ok with booties now but I will be likely be ordering again and keeping this next pair safe in a bag.
