Si Tech announce new Dry Glove Systems for SLÄGGÖ Flex Ring
SI TECH launches three Dry Glove Systems that connects with SLÄGGÖ Flex ring; NEVA, OBERON and LIANA.
SLÄGGÖ Flex Ring provides the opportunity to change wrist seals instantly, without gluing. SI TECH has now developed three versions of Dry Glove Systems for SLÄGGÖ Flex Ring – to give the diver the opportunity to choose the system that is best for his/her diving needs. All three systems are easy to mount, easy to use Dry Glove Systems designed to perform – no matter the diving environment.
NEVA is an easy to use “pull over” Dry Glove System. The NEVA Ring is installed into the SLÄGGÖ Flex Ring and a latex glove or a PVC glove with extended latex cuff is pulled over the NEVA Ring. The glove can be secured with a thick O-ring.
OBERON is a version of the VIRGO/Glove Lock QCP Dry Glove System. With OBERON you get the possibility to use a similar system as VIRGO/Glove Lock QCP, but it is compatible with the SLÄGGÖ Flex Ring (instead of QCS Oval/Quick Cuff).
LIANA is a version of Quick Glove that is compatible with the SLÄGGÖ Flex Ring (instead of Quick Cuff/Quick Clamp).
“We have developed three versions of Dry Glove System to give the diver the opportunity to choose the system that is best for his/her diving needs” says Jonas Axelsson, Managing Director of SI TECH AB.
Sizes:
SLÄGGÖ Flex Ring is available in size L, but is planned to be launched also in size S and M. When the smaller sizes of SLÄGGÖ Flex Ring are on the market, more sizes of NEVA, OBERON and LIANA will be launched; NEVA in size S, M and L, OBERON and LIANA in size M and L.

- Connects with the PU-Ring of SLÄGGÖ Flex Ring.
- User friendly.

May the 4th be with you!
Oyster Diving have recently been given exclusive access to offer scuba diving courses and fun dives at Mercers Lake, a beautiful lake near M25/Gatwick in the UK.
Oyster have just launched their own dive boat ‘The Blue Pear’ to explore various parts of the lake. Divers can glide around the underwater woodland, see lots of fish and decent visibility. Out of the water divers set up in the purpose built kitting up area, unwind in a warm shower, and off-gas in the café & licensed bar.
To celebrate the start of the summer season, AquaSports and Oyster Diving have teamed up to host a Star Wars-themed open day on the 4th May.
Guests will be able to enjoy discounted tasters of various watersports including Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Canoeing and Sailing. Oyster Diving will be joined by Apeks and possibly other dive manufacturers to display their latest products. Demo gear will be available for qualified divers and Oyster’s sales support team will be on hand for customers with any questions.
Divers wishing to get in the water will need to book in via Oyster Diving’s website where you can also choose to hire any equipment. Non-divers and well behaved dogs are very welcome!

Gear Showcase: The Nomad Ray Sidemount System from Dive Rite
Dive Rite was founded in 1984 by technical divers and cave explorers with the goal to make the very best scuba diving equipment available. Gear that can be trusted on the most extreme dives and exceed expectations in any environment: reef, wreck, cave, or quarry.
The Nomad Ray is the product of years of design, development, field testing, and feedback from some of the world’s leading sidemount divers and instructors.
The Nomad Ray is available in black, blue, OD green, pink, or red. If you happen to find yourself in a tight spot, the Ray’s abrasion-resistant “skid plate” will have your back: providing wear protection exactly where it’s needed the most. SuperFabric® is a fast drying, highly durable, and slash-resistant material. The Nomad Ray Sidemount System is ready to perform in the toughest diving environments.
The Nomad Ray can be easily adjusted to comfortably fit all body types. The independently adjustable harness design can be quickly set up for any diver. Shoulder and waist webbing can be replaced independently if damaged or trimmed too short. The Nomad Ray uses a fast, tool-free bungee length adjustment system. Simply pull to the desired length, tie a single overhand knot, and tuck the excess into the integrated sleeve. A quick-adjust belly band with a custom moulded bungee hook keeps the wing wrapped snugly around the diver’s body.
A zipper on the inside of the Nomad Ray wing allows for access to three integrated weight pockets capable of holding up to five pounds of each of hard or soft weight.
