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 result is a sidemount system that has a flat, streamlined fit and an ergonomic shape that sits tight against the diver’s body. Its unique and innovative features will appeal to sidemount divers of all skill levels. The Nomad Ray is perfectly adapted to diving aluminum or steel tanks, in warm or cold water, from entry level sidemount dives to the most demanding technical exploration. A forty-two pound lift capacity provides the buoyancy necessary for heavy steel tanks and multiple stage or deco bottles.

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 Dual Bladder Sidemount BC Features

Key Features:

1. Superfabric® Abrasion Resistant Panel: The Nomad Ray features a full-length Superfabric® "skid plate" that offers optimal wear protection precisely where it's needed most. This fast-drying, highly durable, and slash-resistant material ensures resilience in the most challenging diving environments.

2. Bungees and Belly Band: Enjoy effortless adjustment with the tool-less bungee length system. Simply pull to the desired length, secure with a single overhand knot, and tuck away the excess in the integrated sleeve. The quick-adjust belly band, complete with a custom-molded bungee hook, maintains a snug fit around the diver's body.

3. Rapid Adjustment: The independently adjustable harness design accommodates divers of all body types, with shoulder and waist webbing that can be easily replaced individually if damaged or trimmed too short.

4. Versatility: The Nomad Ray excels in diving with aluminum or steel tanks, in both warm and cold water conditions, making it suitable for entry-level sidemount dives as well as demanding technical explorations. With a 42lb lift capacity, it can handle heavy steel tanks and multiple stage or deco bottles. Plus, a dual bladder option is available for added redundancy.

5. Optimized Hardware: Custom-designed stainless steel hardware, including waist transition plates, drop-down D-rings, sliding D-rings, dog bone crotch strap double D-ring, and bungee retention slides, ensures superior functionality.

6. Integrated Internal Weight Pockets: The wing's interior features a zipper that grants access to three integrated weight pockets, each capable of holding up to 5 pounds of hard or soft weights. This design maintains a low-profile while allowing quick adjustments for precise weighting.

7. Inflation and OPVs: A 16" corrugated inflation hose offers multiple mounting options for convenient access to the inflator, which can be positioned on the left or right side according to the diver's preference. The Nomad Ray includes two pull dump/OPVs—one on the top inside the wing with a shoulder pull dump and another on the bottom outside, offset to the diver's left for easy access with multiple cylinders or CCRs.
