Scubapro Introduces New Sidemount System
Leading scuba diving equipment manufacturer Scubapro have introduced a new sidemount system to their already impressive product line.
Here is their official press release:
Unlimited freedom with Sidemount
The new modular system from SCUBAPRO has been developed in collaboration with leading Sidemount cave divers. Top quality and all configuration options are guaranteed to meet the needs of every diver.
A better streamlined shape, maximum manoeuvrability under water, less back strain, easier entry into the water and increased under water safety due to the simple accessibility of the air supply – these are just some of the benefits of the new SCUBAPRO X-TEK Sidemount system.
All system components are sold separately and are fully compatible so that very diver can build his ideal configuration. In addition, there are two ways to carry weights on the Sidemount system. The X-TEK QR weight pocket system can be attached to the waistband of the jacket or using a the band on the rear side of the harness. The weights can simply be wrapped around the band and clicked in to place.
It is also possible to use the Sidemount system as a backmount jacket as the harness is compatible with the stainless steel and aluminum X-TEK backplates. This raises the possibility of connecting the X-TEK wing, the single tank adapter or double clamps with the harness to use it as a backmount jacket.
The Advantages in Detail
- Modular design with compact, independent wings in 12 and 20 liter capacity: So every diver finds his dream configuration.
- Wing made of 1000 DEN Cordura and inner bladder of Soltan: The materials are extremely robust, stretchy and durable.
- Soft Airnet backpack for maximum comfort: The open air chambers provide the padding for the backpack. As the water can drain away and the backpack does not produce any lift.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
