Long Awaited Atomic Aquatics BC1 Coming Soon

Published

on

Huish Outdoors are delighted to announce that the Atomic Aquatics BC1 will be available in time for summer, with stocks arriving in Europe at the end of May or early June. The new Atomic Aquatics BC1 is designed to be the toughest performance BC in the world. The BC1 redefines traditional BC design. Every detail was reexamined. Every material and component was rethought. The new Atomic BC1 is designed for the diver who wants the absolute best available.

BC1 Features

  • Exclusive Laminated & Coated Waterproof Fabric: The custom matte finish fabric looks and feels unlike any other BC. The strong double-laminated polyurethane coated fabric is incredibly tough and actually sheds water like a raincoat.

  • Ratcheting CAM-LOK Tank Band: This Atomic design exclusive is the easiest tank band to use, working much like ski and snowboard bindings. Easily adapts to a wide variety of tank sizes. No more wetting a nylon web band and weaving it through a buckle.
  • Patented EZ-LOK Weight Release System: A remarkably easy-to-use design feature. Each weight pouch holds up to 10 lbs. of hard or soft weights, smoothly glides into pockets, and locks with a reassuring “SNAP”. Releases with a simple tug on the handle.

  • Quilted Backpad & Adjustable Lumbar Pad: Uniquely elegant and functional, enabling a diver to adjust for the most comfortable fit. BC1 carrying handle is concealed behind the backpad.
  • Sand-Resistant Pocket Zippers: Self-sealing zipper closes completely to prevent sand or debris from getting caught in zipper teeth.
  • Titanium-Coated Stainless Steel D-rings: Custom 316 Stainless Steel D-rings with Titanium PVD coating are corrosion-resistant and strategically placed for convenience.
  • Trim Weight Pockets: Each pocket holds up to 5 lbs. for improved diver profile in the water.
  • Non-Skid Tank Pad: Combined with the CAM-LOK tank band, the rigid molded tank pad and backpack provides ultimate tank security with CNC-Machined Stainless Steel hardware molded to the frame.

  • “Dry Glide” Exhaust Pull Dumps & Knobs: Low friction 316 Stainless Steel pull dumps in two locations with patent pending Anti-Floating Pull Knob with lengthened tails.
  • High-Performance Inflation Choices: A truly elite world-class BC deserves high-performance inflation and safe second options. Dive with the innovatively designed Atomic SS1 available in Titanium or Stainless Steel. Or dive with a high-performance pairing of the Atomic Octo and the Ai Power Inflator. Inflator/safe second options sold separately.

Atomic Aquatics BC1 – RRP £1,099.95

Atomic Aquatics AI Titanium Inflator 14-0200-3p – RRP £174.95

Atomic Aquatics AI Stainless Steel inflator 14-0201-3p – RRP £134.95

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.

Gear Showcase: The Nomad Ray Sidemount System from Dive Rite

Published

Nomad Ray

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.

Nomad Ray

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.

Nomad Ray

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.
