The STEALTH 2.0 TEC was designed to excel in deep decompression
diving and in extended cave penetrations. 19Kg of lift in the wing can
easily support the multiple cylinders that advanced diving requires.
Increasing the STEALTH 2.0 buoyancy meant ensuring that the movement and
position of the gas could be properly managed. The STEALTH 2.0 TEC BC
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 a spectacular result.
Multi cylinders are now easily supported, even if they are large volume
heavy steels or cave filled. At the same time, the STEALTH 2.0 TEC 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 STEALTH 2.0 TEC wing,
you can release excess gas with either hand and stay in perfect trim
while you do so.
STEALTH 2.0 TEC
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, we decided to make the world's best sidemount system even
better.
As a base we 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. We 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.
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.
We 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.
Double your confidence
in your decompression diving
The RB version of STEALTH 2.0 TEC
Setup contains two fully functional wings in one tightly streamlined
design. If your technical decompression dives call for redundant
buoyancy, the STEALTH 2.0 TEC RB double bladder option has your back.
STEALTH 2.0 HARNESS – Core Technology
The STEALTH 2.0 harness was a ground-breaking approach that
revolutionised sidemount harnesses. At the core of the STEALTH 2.0
system it provides technical divers with a foundation of comfort and
safety unparalled 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 STEALTH 2.0 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. Often copied the
STEALTH 2.0 harness is unequalled.
Rapid harness configuration
Unlike
single piece harnesses the STEALTH 2.0 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 much faster.
Technically advanced webbing
Three different webbing technologies in the STEALTH 2.0 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.
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 STEALTH 2.0 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, even those who have copied our designs, struggle to manage
accomodating sufficient weight, especially in the right places . Limits
on where you can place weight will lead to compromises in balance and
trim.
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.
