XDEEP Crotch Strap

The strap that stops a backplate riding up your back when the wing inflates. Leaving it off is the most common gap in a home-built rig, and it shows the first time a diver goes head-down with a full wing.

Five configurations here. The classic 1.2 m strap threads through the plate and carries a rear D-ring for a scooter or a stage. The adjustable set adds length adjustment, which helps if you switch between a wetsuit and a drysuit through the year. The NX V and NX classic straps suit the NX series plates, and the adapter on its own lets an older strap fit an NX plate.
