Dive Rite Nomad Ring Bungee

Take the guesswork out of bungee sizing with our new Nomad Ring Bungees. This standard 12-inch (30.5 cm) bungee (measured from clip to quick link...meaning bungee is 12-inch not including hardware) includes stainless steel, HW1014SS Medium Quick Links that allows the user to add or subtract hardware to get a personal fit. Divers who need a shorter bungee can remove one set of links. Divers who need a longer bungee can add links. Even our own die-hard traditionalists that have been wearing out smallest bungees without the tank chokers liked this new system. The ring gives cold water divers wearing gloves a spot to hook a finger and manipulate the bungee when donning and doffing. Cold water divers can also request our Xtra Large Bolt snap in place of the standard Medium Bolt snap.

The Nomad Ring Bungee has the added benefit of a built-in safety that allows the diver to clip the tanks directly into a should D-ring.

Tips from Diverite's Lamar Hires on using the system:

The ring bungee method for managing sidemount bottles has received good acceptance and with anything people want to modify it and make it their own. I want to explain the concept behind it so you get  the most from it.  We call it a 12” ring bungee because from end of quick link to end of quick link is 12”.  We played with various bungee thicknesses and lengths to get the best combination of stretch to attach the bottle and recoil so the bottle rest under the arm when only the buoyancy has to be dealt with.

We get requests for longer bungees. DON’T DO THIS… the stretch is good for bottles up to the 8-inch, 120 cu ft cylinders, believe me I have tried it on them. If you need to lengthen the overall strap because you are thick through the chest add a quick link to the side that attaches to your backplate or TransPac. This will move the ring forward for access but the bungee stretch is the same for good recoil to keep the bottle under the arm when diving.

Every quick link will add approximately 1” of length. You may find that after doing this you want to shorten them as you get use to attaching the bottles its gets easier with practice.  When I teach a CCR class cave divers I have them spend at least 20 minutes following a line and doing bottle switches. The first few passes are comical, but it finally gets so easy they don’t even think about it. My point is don’t lengthen the bungees permanently when a little practice will make the shorter ones more desirable for bottle trim.

DirDirect is a world-leading online dive shop run by Underwater Explorers based in Portland, Dorset, UK. Underwater Explorers is a dive centre with a striking difference. It was born out of the concept of "Hogarthian" diving, safe and streamlined equipment configuration, using the most robust products available for recreational and technical diving -- but at the same time, keeping it simple. It is based on the concept of "less is more" in diving and acts as an equipment outlet, training facility and source of sound advice.
