HARNESS AND BACKPLATE
FOR RECREATIONAL, TECHNICAL AND REBREATHER DIVING
Looking for the ultimate backplate harness? Look no further. Our design offers the versatility you need for any dive configuration – single tank, double tank, rebreather, sidemount – the only change required is the wing. But what truly sets our backplate apart is its construction: 100% Titanium. We’re the only company offering this level of quality and performance. Titanium’s exceptional strength-to-weight ratio ensures unmatched durability and a significantly lighter profile compared to steel or aluminum. Integrated slots for trim pouches and “FLY” weight systems complete the package, providing optimal trim and balance for any dive.

Backplate Material. What to choose?
Titanium 2mm
Our premium backplates are made from 2mm TITANIUM, precision-crafted using advanced CNC technology for a smooth, rounded finish, eliminating the sharp edges common in competitor products.
While other brands use aluminum to reduce weight, aluminum is weaker and requires thicker sheets to match titanium’s strength, resulting in no real advantage aside from cost. Aluminum also corrodes in saltwater, especially when in contact with stainless steel. Though anodized for protection, the coating eventually wears off, leading to corrosion. In contrast, titanium resists corrosion and offers unparalleled durability.
CNC Technology
Edge Rounding Process
Here at Helium Dive we use 4 Axis Miling Center by MAZAK to Round the edges of backplate, with special tool machine makes edges round, so your harness webbing will last longer as well as your gear. This process takes time that effect on the final price of the backplate. But remember, if you want quality, you have to pay for it.
It’s just so easy to make a backplate now days, but to make it Quality and Ideal will take time and money. To manufacture Titanium Backplate , we use CNC Laser and CNC Milling machines as well as special tools to Round sharp edges. This is an expensive and time consuming process but this is what makes our Titanium Backplate TOP of the Market product.

How to Setup Harness
Titanium hardware
Due to it strength and absolute corrosion resistance, Titanium is a great material for backplate as well as other harness hardware such as: D-rings, triglides, belt buckles and etc.
Every single part in our Signature DIR style Harness made of TiTANIUM. We could say that our Harness is the strongest and lightest on the market.
Helium Signature webbing ?
Our custom-made webbing is designed with special threads that strike the perfect balance between flexibility and stiffness. It is water-resistant, non-shrinking, and offers excellent abrasion resistance, ensuring durability and optimal performance
WHY USE TITANIUM
WEIGHT
The lightweight of titanium backplates not only enhances diver comfort but also provides a practical advantage when it comes to air travel with dive gear. You enjoy the benefits of easier transportation and lower baggage weight
CORROSION RESISTANCE
Titanium is highly resistant to corrosion, even in saltwater environments. This property ensures that the backplate and hardware remains durable and retains its integrity over time.
STRENGTH TO WEIGHT RATIO
Titanium has a remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, meaning it is strong and sturdy while still being lightweight. This characteristic makes titanium backplates robust and reliable
NON-MAGNETIC PROPERTIES
Titanium is non-magnetic, making it advantageous for divers using sensitive equipment that may be affected by magnetic fields. It reduces the risk of interference and ensures accurate readings from instruments.
