Need Help Finding A SS Waist Buckle (SS= Stainless Steel)

[SavDiver]

So I recently met someone uses this buckle (pics attached), with that being said the closest thing I could find was on another website and a facebook post by SUMP UK. So I got into contact with one of the Sump UK dealers that I know here in the US. With that being said she did not have it. So the searched started.....I got into contact with Sump UK on facebook. Sadly he said the last time he saw them was 4 years ago and that he never made them, He just used them for diving. If anyone knows anything about the whereabouts or finding a person who sells this buckle please let me know.

SS = Stainless Steel? maybe not the name of the buckle but material...

ETA: Google search (image) for sliding stainless belt buckle brought up a bunch of similar products

I don't know about that exact one, but Piranha has a knurled version.

Yeah brain not fully functioning at the moment need coffee. I know what you are talking about, the slide buckle with the serrated middle. I am looking for one that is smooth like this. This buckle you just pull on it and it tightens. Those slide buckles are finicky sometimes.

Yeah appreciate it, I have those with D rings for my sidemount setup and it is not fun to deal with as a buckle in my opinion

Looks identical (function wise) to a BDU field/rigger belt buckle. I have not seen a stainless steel version of those though.

Another idea for your search though...

Good idea, I'm currently in contact with another company to see if they have it or something they can make.

Piranha has freaking everything.

One issue worth noting with this style buckle...and why I’m assuming it isn’t popular in scuba diving circles...is that it requires a fair amount of dexterity to operate the buckle. If you have to get out of it in a hurry (ex. Weight belt or BP/W belt), you may run into issues.

Andrew Goering from Sump UK makes it. Last time he had them I ordered like 5 of them and have them on my BPW's and sidemount rigs. SUMP UK
