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.
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.
