xDeep Buttplate Details

The xDeep Buttplate is a game-changer for sidemount divers looking for a rock-solid attachment system. Unlike standard harness attachment points, the buttplate allows cylinders to be clipped further down the back, making it ideal for steel tanks that require better positioning. The technopolymer stiffener ensures that the plate remains rigid, even under heavy loads, while the Cordura outer layer protects against wear and tear from frequent use.

Designed for ease of use, the stainless steel rails provide a secure and effortless clipping system, allowing divers to quickly attach and remove cylinders. The reinforced eyelets at the top ensure a firm and stable connection to any sidemount harness or backplate setup. With its superior materials and well-thought-out design, the xDeep Buttplate is a must-have for any serious sidemount diver.

Sidemount Wings

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.
