XDEEP Hydros 50 DIR Full Set designed to exceed the expectations of demanding tec divers. An innovative but modern classic
The classic twinset wing has been completely redesigned. Whilst the elements will be familiar, the attention to detail has left no stone unturned in transforming good into great.
Familiar in looks, innovative and functional in use
Whilst the HYDROS system might be easily recognisable, every element has been addressed to ensure an enhanced diving experience. Building all of the elements around a carefully calculated geometry, we significantly improved stability in the water. We eliminated the ‘dead zones’ that trap air, increasing drag or affecting buoyancy.
We ensured you have great access to your valves through a careful top wing design. Holding flat and expert trim in this wing is made easy, whether you are a new technical diver or have hundreds of decompression dives and want the security and comfort of the best system possible.
Trim and Stability to meet the most critical eye
Learning how to hold good trim and a stable position in the water is often the hardest skill for a new technical diver. For an experienced technical diver they want their equipment to help, not be something they have to compensate for. The HYDROS was designed so that the buoyancy in the wing perfectly matches the centre of gravity of the gas in your twinset.
Irrespective of the inflation level of the wing, or the remaining cylinder pressure, the system trim will not change during the dive.
Valve Shutdowns – faster and safer
The last thing you want between you and your valves is a flap of wing that slows down your response to a problem. Shutdowns and valve management have been improved by reducing the volume of the wing in the valve area, and through the area where you want to route your hoses.
Its easier to configure a clean and tidy hose routing, leaving your valves clear and accessible.
Reduced drag but the same buoyancy
Smaller contour wings have less drag and a lower risk of entanglement. In classic twinset BCD designs if you reduce the contour of the wing, then you lose overall buoyancy. Not in the HYDROS. By minimizing the dead zone in the HYDROS from the central part of the bladder, we have reduced the overall wing contour and kept all the buoyancy you need. A bit of lateral thinking!
Comfortable and high up at the surface
It is a challenge to design a wing that holds you in perfectly flat trim underwater, yet holds you upright and high at the surface. Most designs want to push your face back underwater. In the HYDROS the design ensures that the majority of the wing and therefore buoyancy is kept beneath the surface. Even loaded with two full stages and gear for a deep technical dive, HYDROS will hold you high and comfortable out of the waves.
Customise your HYDROS to your exact needs
When ordering the full set, you can choose the size of wing, the inflator length and the type of backplate that meets your specifications. The full system will come assembled, configured and ready to dive.
Lift to match your needs
Two robust and reliable wings are available in the HYDROS product range. You can choose and configure the wing according to the dives you are doing and your own build and preferences. The HYDROS 40 has 18 kg (40 lbs) of lift and is perfect for twin 7 litres or twin 12’s and a single stage. The HYDROS 50, with its 22 kg (50 lbs) of lift, suits both the larger diver and more demanding technical dives that need larger capacity main cylinders and multiple stages.
Control right where you want it
The HYDROS has three inflator lengths that ensure you can place the inflator control right where you want it. Having your gas management where you can intuitively put your hand straight on the controls is not only more comfortable, but clearly safer and more efficient.
Choose from two beautifully engineered backplates
Technical diving is a worldwide phenomenon. Whether you prefer a lighter aluminium backplate for travel or warm water diving, or the advantages a steel plate brings in weight distribution and reduced lead. HYDROS gives you the choice.
XDEEP Exploration Support Program
Ahmed Gabr’s World Record breaking dive to 332.35m On the 18th of September 2014, Ahmed Gabr set the world record for open-circuit diving by plunging to a depth of 332.35 meters. During the decompression time of this record-breaking dive, Ahmed used the XDEEP STEALTH 2.0 harness. The majority of his support team used the XDEEP HYDROS 50 and STEALTH 2.0 systems.
Technical and Technological
No compromises have been made in producing the HYDROS. Innovative thinking and design has been applied to every part of the system to enhance performance. European made from the best materials sourced in Germany and the USA, HYDROS is tough and robust. The HYDROS technology will ensure that it functions technically exactly the way you want it.
