The Dive Rite Nomad Mini Sidemount System is a streamlined sidemount buoyancy compensator developed for divers seeking a compact configuration with reduced bulk. Designed around the requirements of warm-water diving and travel, the system is intended primarily for use with aluminium 80 cu ft cylinders and provides 25 lb (11.3 kg) of lift. Its low-profile wing is based on the Nomad platform but scaled down to minimise drag and improve packing efficiency.

This streamlined air bladder provides 30 kilos of buoyancy, which is ideal to support a diver with a tank and weights. A backpack-style harness secures the equipment and ensures the BCD is comfortable both in and out of the water. On land, the harness is designed to distribute the weight on the hips and relieve the back and shoulders. Made from the same durable materials and hardware as the rest of the Dive Rite range, the Hydro Lite will easily withstand demanding dives for years to come.

Crafted from high-precision CNC-machined acetal and stainless-steel components, this reel mirrors the Azimuth's ergonomic, low-profile design. However, it preserves the distinctive “thumb flick” locking and unlocking mechanism from the original Slide Lock series.

With 42lb lift capacity, it provides buoyancy needed for multiple stage/deco bottles and heavy steel tanks.

Dive Rite’s Azimuth reels are carefully crafted from acetal or stainless steel. The dimensions of the reel have been thoughtfully chosen for comfort and ease of use, combined with being low profile when clipped off and stowed.

The unique in-line clip slots on the handle orient the reel to sit closer to the body when clipped to a D-ring. This design also allows the included double-ender clip to swing out of the way and lay against the handle, negating the need to remove the clip for quick deployment.

It can be something as simple as using a Hex key to remove a DIN insert from a cylinder valve, so that you can screw in your regulator first stage.
