The XDEEP Stealth 2.0 REC Redundant Bladder System offers 13 kg of redundant lift. Compact and easy to use, simpler, smaller and straightforward to use, perfect for recreational diving. A carefully chosen range of modular component choices creates a totally customisable system. The weight system used in the STEALTH 2.0 is capable of being tailored to any use and any diver. The neat and tidy wing ensures easy access to the dump valve if you don't have a long reach.
STEALTH 2.0 REC Sidemount for Recreational Divers
Being free of a rigid tank or BCD allows great freedom of movement in the water. The STEALTH 2.0s streamlined recreational wing and harness combination provide the key to enjoying a balanced and relaxed approach to your sport dives. Carrying twin cylinders is the safest and in sidemount, the most balanced and streamlined way of diving. The STEALTH 2.0 ensures that cylinders are kept tight and secure to the body, eliminating movement. The perfect balance provided ensures minimal drag in the water, reducing effort, improving gas consumption and enhancing underwater time and enjoyment. The STEALTH 2.0 was the first system to have a central dump valve for buoyancy control. Proven in cave and technical diving the advantages are just as important for sports diving. The valve is easy to reach with either hand, and simple to dump excess gas without having to change your position in the water. Having great control over buoyancy means safer and more relaxing dives. The flexibility and safety that sidemount diving gives to sport and recreational divers is why its grown in popularity. Building on the proven advanced design and materials technology used in the STEALTH 2.0 Tec and Classic family, the STEALTH 2.0 Rec is our expert solution for demanding recreational and sport divers. The STEALTH 2.0 system delivered in an easily useable and friendly form.
Unlike cave divers you may not be squeezing through small passages, but your system will still get wear on the back from boat dives, shore entries and even just being transported. At risk areas are protected with tough and long lasting materials that preserve the integrity of your equipment. You benefit from back-up buoyancy when diving wet with a fully integrated, fully functional redundant bladder that is situated neatly inside the STEALTH 2.0 REC RB system wing. This provides a safe and secure option for those days when you want to dive free of the drysuit and still have back-up buoyancy.
STEALTH 2.0 REC HARNESS
The STEALTH 2.0 harness was a ground-breaking approach that revolutionised sidemount systems. Built on the core technology of the STEALTH 2.0 TEC and Classic systems our REC harness provides sports and recreational divers with the same strong foundation of performance, comfort and safety. The REC wing, designed specifically for sports diving, is fixed to the harness for simplicity of use and security.
The STEALTH 2.0 features harness webbing of differing thickness and stiffness for comfort and for enhanced performance. Security and adjustability is designed into the harness to deliver ease of use and an enjoyable in-water experience. You have full control over your tank position, your balance and trim at all times throughout the dive. Often copied the STEALTH 2.0 harness is unequalled.
Tough buckles make getting in and out of the STEALTH 2.0 Rec system just as easy as any other BCD. Safe and secure in use, but easy to operate even in thick gloves. All the adjustability of the original STEALTH 2.0 in an easy to use form. Intelligently utilising different types of material throughout the system for webbing, for weight systems and for the wing means great comfort and performance. The waist has rigid webbing that ensures the D-rings for clipping off your cylinders stay exactly where you want them through the dive. Shoulder straps use softer material to mould to your body providing perfect fit, comfort and ease of movement. The crotch strap is super soft reducing wear on your suit but still supportive.
Innovative Sidemount Weight System
The STEALTH 2.0 weight system is very flexible and extremely secure. Weights are locked into the rear central pocket and can be configured to achieve a perfect balance. Using droppable front and trim pockets allows easy management of weights up to 23Kg. Pass your weights up to the boat, get in and out of the water easily and if needed you can drop weights quickly in an emergency.
Between the side, rear and trim pocket options offered by the STEALTH 2.0 system you can have virtually any weight placement you prefer, allowing you to establish perfect balance and trim in the water.
A total capacity including the back pocket system, large trim and large droppable pouches can accommodate between 1Kg and 30Kg of lead to be carried with ease, exactly where you want it.
The central weight pocket can easily be moved up and down your spine as desired to establish the most effective and comfortable placement of weights. This ensures from head to toe you can position weights for ideal balance ensuring that you can easily keep an efficient flat trim in the water.
The Worlds Most Flexible Sidemount System
As ideal as the STEALTH 2.0 is in recreational configuration, it is still part of an amazingly flexible system that can be configured for whatever type of diving (Cave, Technical, Expedition) you want to do. You can add or swap components from a wide range of choices to create the perfect system for any application you wish.
Sidemount wings are a specialised type of buoyancy control device (BCD) designed for sidemount scuba diving configurations. Unlike traditional back-mounted BCDs, sidemount wings are attached to the diver's sides, providing buoyancy and control while allowing for the carrying of cylinders under the diver's arms. This unique placement offers several advantages, including improved streamlining, easier access to valves, and the ability to carry multiple tanks without significantly increasing the diver's profile in the water. Sidemount wings are typically designed with a wing-like shape that wraps around the diver's torso, ensuring even distribution of buoyancy and enhancing maneuverability and comfort underwater.
The development of sidemount wings has been driven by the growing popularity of sidemount diving, particularly among technical divers exploring overhead environments such as caves and wrecks. These environments often require divers to navigate through tight spaces, where the flexibility and reduced size of the sidemount configuration can be significantly advantageous. Sidemount wings come in various sizes and lift capacities to accommodate different diving conditions and the number of cylinders being carried. They are often made from durable materials capable of withstanding harsh diving environments, featuring redundant bladder systems for added safety. As sidemount diving continues to evolve, so too do the designs and features of sidemount wings, with manufacturers constantly seeking to improve comfort, safety, and efficiency for divers in all types of underwater explorations.
