Dive Deeper, Dive Longer, Dive Safer
The XDEEP Stealth Tec Sidemount Setup was designed to excel in deep decompression diving and in extended cave penetrations.
The 19kg of lift in the wing can easily support the multiple cylinders that advanced diving requires. Increasing the XDEEP Stealth Tec buoyancy meant ensuring that the movement and position of the gas could be properly managed. The XDEEP Stealth Tec does this brilliantly, keeping you stable, balanced and in trim, whatever the level of inflation.
More lift, even more streamlined
Increasing the lift of the BCD whilst maintaining and even improving the streamlining required a complete rethink on wing design. New solutions offered spectacular results.
Multi cylinders are now easily supported, even if they are large volume heavy steels or cave filled. At the same time, the XDEEP Stealth Tec Sidemount Setup is incredibly slender, even when fully inflated.
Manage your buoyancy whilst staying in trim
Many sidemount BCDs place the dump valve on one side or the other. Releasing gas from these systems requires a roll onto your side, which may be OK in 2 cylinder configuration, but when carrying multiple cylinders, changes of trim and balance require considerable effort that really should not be needed.
By placing the dump valve in the centre of the XDEEP Stealth Tec Sidemount wing, you can release excess gas with either hand and stay in perfect trim while you do so.
The revolution continues
The birth of the Stealth 2.0 Classic began a revolution in sidemount diving which continues to this day. Three years after the Classic, XDEEP decided to make the world’s best sidemount system even better.
As a base, they used the outstanding Stealth 2.0 harness and weight management system, so that all Stealth components could be seamlessly compatible. Stealth 2.0 is after all a tried and tested technology and an advanced design. XDEEP kept the perfect streamlining and balance as per the Classic, but in a wing that offered additional lift to cope with the demands of deep, multi-cylinder technical dives.
STEALTH 2.0 HARNESS – Core Technology
The Stealth 2.0 harness was a ground-breaking approach that revolutionised sidemount harnesses.
The XDEEP Stealth Tec Sidemount Setup provides technical divers with a foundation of comfort and safety unparalleled anywhere else in the dive industry. The Tec wing is fixed to the harness for added security during the deep part of the dive and on your decompression stops.
The XDEEP Stealth Tec Sidemount Setup features harness webbing of differing thickness and stiffness for comfort but also for enhanced performance. Security and adjustability is designed into the harness to enhance the diving experience. D rings on the waist strap can be moved to allow for changes in tank buoyancy and control of cylinder position, even if carrying buoyant high helium mixes.
Rapid harness configuration
Unlike single-piece harnesses the XDEEP Stealth Tec Sidemount Setup has independent adjustment of the shoulder and waist straps. Changing the shoulder strap length does not change the waist D ring positions. The crotch strap is an independent adjustment. It is fast and simple to obtain the perfect fit and configuration for multi-cylinder diving.
Technical instructors value every minute in the water and rather than spend up to half a day adjusting a single-piece harness, you can be diving much faster.
Technically advanced webbing
Three different webbing technologies in the XDEEP Stealth Tec Sidemount Setup harness meet the functional challenges of deep technical diving.
On the waist, there is a stiff and rigid webbing that ensures the D rings for clipping off your cylinders stay exactly where you want them, even with stages or deco cylinders.
Shoulder straps mould to your body by using softer material and give great fit and ease of movement.
The crotch strap is super soft but supportive without leading to wear on your drysuit.
Materials technology, applied with innovation.
Protection where its needed
If you happen to catch any part of the system in a narrow wreck passage or cave restriction, it will probably be the upper part of your back first. XDEEP have thought ahead and reinforced the upper part of the BCD, improving the fit to your back and eliminating snagging hazards. Safe, functional and secure.
The worlds’ best weight management system
Attach your weights exactly where you want them. Achieving perfect balance and trim, even with 5 or 6 cylinders, is simple, whether you need one 1Kg or over 20Kg.
Designed to keep weights secure and immovable whilst remaining easy to use and flexible, the XDEEP Stealth Tec Sidemount Setup weight management system is truly world class.
Take the weight you want
Technical diving is equipment focussed and requires multiple backups. Add in multiple gas blends in a variety of cylinders, throw in a drysuit with a thick thermals and proper weighting is vital.
Most other sidemount systems, struggle to manage accommodating sufficient weight, especially in the right places. Limits on where you can place weight will lead to compromises in balance and trim.
The XDEEP Stealth Tec Sidemount Setup easily deals with the ideal placement of weight from a 1Kg block to over 20Kg without fuss. Whatever your dive, you can relax and know your system is able to cope beautifully.
Balanced to achieve easy trim
The XDEEP weight management system allows you to place the weight in an ideal position relative to your centre of gravity. The central weight pocket is simple to move within a considerable range. Just as if you were moving a V or tail weight on a twinset, you can apply the same principle for optimum position and thereby perfect balance.
Enjoy ‘dive god’ levels of trim and balance – easily.
