New Hollis Buoyancy Systems Cut the Guesswork

Published

on

Elite tech diving manufacturer Hollis unveiled recently its plans to release new diver-specific buoyancy systems this summer.

Long applauded for its components and modular add-ons, in creating the new systems, Hollis seeks to introduce a new demographic to its equipment while also targeting specific diver types with bespoke dive kits.

Whether you’re a single-tank diver, a twin-cylinder diver—diving in the Caribbean or locally in cold water—we’ve tailored a system specifically for you,” Hollis Brand Manager Nick Hollis says of the new systems. “We’ve taken the guesswork out and curated our most popular components into options that’ll meet your needs.”

The new Systems are divided into three categories: the ST System, the ST Elite and the DT System.

Rooted in rugged simplicity, the ST System is designed for minimalist divers and comes in regular and travel-friendly options. The ST Elite offers a full-featured feel by including Hollis’ Elite 2 harness—producing comfort akin to a BCD. Minimal and simple, the DT System is designed for the rigorous demands of the discerning doubles diver.

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.

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.
