Maximus  is the new breed of wing style BCD,  designed to meet today's style of diving, and for the new trend of extended range diving. The stainless or aluminium (optional) back plate combines with deluxe harness and innovative horseshoe bladder (wing) to create a fully-functional BCD with excellent and flexible buoyancy, proper trim, suitable weight, efficient propulsion and integrated life support. Pockets to tailor it to your exact requirements from a lightweight travel wing to a 90lb double bladder wing there is a wing for you

bulletThe unique elastomeric bands (use is optional) assist in deflation, but still allow the diver to orally inflate the BC.
bulletElastomeric bands evenly compress the BC, eliminating the massive airshift associated with non-banded BCs that typically occurs when changing body plane.
bulletTypically retract the BC to a width less than the divers’ shoulders, greatly reducing Drag and Snag potential.
bulletBy adding or eliminating bands in different parts of the BC, the diver can adjust:
  1. Lateral trim to compensate for stage bottles, cameras, etc.
  2. Horizontal trim e.g. head up, down or level.

 Components available separately or buy a package comprising harness, backplate and wing for a saving on all parts bought separately.

 

 

Package prices

A package comprises a harness, backplate, wing and lp hose. To see descriptions of all parts separately scroll down the page.
