XDEEP - Hydros Technical Wing

Trim that your instructor would be proud of

The wing is carefully designed so that the the centre of buoyancy in the HYDROS wing exactly matches the centre of gravity in your twinset, regardless of the working pressure.

The outcome is that your trim remains stable and flat, regardless of the pressure in the cylinders or the amount of gas in the wing.

Improved valve management

In many classic wings the top section can flap or worse, inflate and block valve access. Some designs even lift the valves away from the diver, making reaching the valves difficult. In the HYDROS we have eliminated this dead zone and reduced the volume of the bladder in top of the wing.

Valve access is much easier and your options for hose routing are neater and tidier.

Improved streamlining with no loss of lift

Wings with a smaller contour have a lower entanglement hazard and greatly reduced drag. The usual trade-off is reduced lift, not ideal.

In the HYDROS all the lift has been maintained by getting rid of the dead zone that is common to many classic designs from the centre of the wing. You get the best of both worlds.

As good above or below the waves

The HYDROS wing is designed to stay predominantly submerged even at the surface. This means that more of the buoyancy is available to lift you higher out of whatever surface conditions you find yourself in. Even carrying two stages and twin 12’s you will experience a noticeable improvement in comfort.

There is also no tendency for the HYDROS to push you face forward like other classic designs. Enjoy both flat trim underwater and a comfortable wait for the boat above.

HYDROS 50 provides 22Kg (50 lbs) of lift and works superbly well for the bigger dives and the bigger divers. Twin high capacity steels, with multiple stages, are all in a day's work for this wing.

HYDROS 40 wing has 18 kg (40 lbs) of lift that works brilliantly for dives from advanced recreational to extended range and beyond. Good for twin 7’s or 12’s with a stage, or for the smaller technical adventurers amongst us.
