Halcyon Trim Weights
Halcyon tank-mounted trim weight pockets are yet another novel Halcyon invention. This patented product supports optimal weight distribution, encouraging diving comfort and in-water stability. While at the surface, Halcyon trim weights promote a heads-up position, counteracting the positive tendency of buoyant cylinders. These same weights support a horizontal position while under water, reducing effort and encouraging diving fun.
Key Features of Trim Weights

- Built from 1,000-denier nylon with a hook and loop closure; a sturdy buckle ensures the weights remain in place
- Designed to fit securely onto the tank straps
- Excellent for travel, allowing you to fit additional weight upon reaching your destination
- Halcyon trim weight pockets are protected by US Patents 5855454 and 6530725b1.
Weighted Single-Tank Adapter
Divers who are able to remove unnecessary weight from their waist enjoy greater comfort and better in-water position. The Halcyon weighted single-tank adapter places an additional six pounds between the backplate and single cylinder, removing weight from your waist and encouraging a more comfortable in-water position. The weight is easily removed during travel or when less weight is required.
- Attaches securely to Halcyon Eclipse BC Systems
- Epoxy-coated 6-lb. (2.7 kg) weight is easily removed
- Removable weight may be purchased as part of the Halcyon BC systems

Regardless of your future aspirations, this flexibility means your diving system can grow with you. From your first open-water dive to your 100th deep dive, Halcyon is with you all the way.

Halcyon Backplate
As with most Halcyon products, an immense amount of behind-the-scenes work is required to create a plate we are proud to sell. Halcyon backplates have been refined over the years to provide the highest-quality finish and materials available. Small details like the unique bends near the bottom of the plate create an ergonomic curve, increasing diver comfort. Meanwhile our precise fabrication process ensures the quality you have come to expect from Halcyon. Each Halcyon backplate is cut from the highest quality stainless steel and sophisticated CNC machines mill every edge; this detailed process eliminates the sharp edges common with competitors’ plates. Machine polishing is augmented by individual handwork, perfecting both form and function.
Key Features of the Halcyon Backplate
- Constructed from high-grade, polished Stainless Steel or hard-coat Aluminum
- Carefully milled surfaces eliminate sharp edges
- Available in two sizes, both are compatible with any Halcyon BC component
- Standard: 6-lb. (2.7kg) Stainless Steel or lighter weight 2-lb. (.9kg) Aluminum

- Small: 5-lb. (2.26kg) Stainless Steel or 1.8 lb. Aluminum

Halcyon Storage Pak
The Halcyon backplate pocket is the most efficient means to store any of the various Halcyon inflatable markers with ease. Stowing your favorite lift device in a Halcyon Storage Pak provides a hassle-free storage place without compromising the ability for rapid deployment. The Pak bolts directly onto your backplate and the downward-facing pocket can even be used to stow the 6-ft. long Diver’s Life Raft.
