The Halcyon Infinity Wing System is not your typical buoyancy compensator. In fact, it establishes a new standard in single-tank diving, offering the unparalleled performance of a back mounted harness and the easy adjustability of a jacket BC.

The Infinity BC features Halcyon’s immensely popular Eclipse wing - a long, narrow profile which supports a diver’s tank along his or her entire length, preventing unnecessary drag and minimizing in-water effort.

The Infinity's most distinguished feature is the novel harness adjustment known as the Cinch Quick Adjust Harness, which redefines what it means to dive a backplate, providing unparalleled comfort and stability in a system with infinite adjustability.

Unlike other designs the Cinch adjustments eliminates all quick release buckles and dangling webbing. The industry-first innovation marries the stability and streamlining of the backplate with the comfort and flexibility of a recreational BCD.

Halcyon's long, narrow wing design supports the divers tank along its entire length, preventing unnecessary drag and minimising effort.

• Infinite adjustability in the blink of an eye
• Snug, stable fit with easy removal
• Easily adjustable while in or out of water
• Easily convertible for suits of varying thickness
• Ships fully assembled
• Lifetime warranty on inner bladder seams

Halcyon Eclipse Wing

The Halcyon Eclipse is a low profile, exploration-grade wing that leaves all other single tank designs in its shadow. Another example of Halcyon taking the game to the next level.

The Eclipse wings have a long and narrow profile to support the diver's tank along his or her entire length, preventing unnecessary drag and minimizing effort. A circular zipper around the inside of the wing allows for easy inspection.

A choice of lift capacities helps to maximize comfort and streamlining while accounting for various buoyancy requirements that result from differences in tank size, exposure protection, or equipment requirements.

A drainage system allows water to drain rapidly from the outer cover to minimize excess weight.

An inflator elbow strain relief constructed from two-inch nylon webbing minimizes wear on this.

Halcyon inner bladders are RF welded with a lifetime warranty on all seams.

• Outer shell 1680-denier ballistic nylon
• Inner bladder 400-denier Nylon
• Available in 30 and 40 lbs lift capacities.

Eclipse 30 wings come labelled as Trav Pro with camp band slots.

Halcyon Cinch Harness

Now divers can easily adjust the fit of their plate in or out of the water a simple push or pull is all it takes.

The Cinch harness redefines what it means to dive a backplate, building upon a platform of simplicity while providing unprecedented security and ease of adjustment. Halcyon developed the Cinch to save divers time and effort while sizing, fine-tuning and resizing your diving harness. Now you can change suits or divers and adjust the Cinch in a flash; all this without compromising the harness integrity or our trademark, continuous piece of webbing.

Adjustments to the Halcyon Cinch occur by simply sliding the harness through a unique, patent pending assembly.

If you need a quick way to get out of your dive system; if you regularly change the thickness of your diving suit; or if you train new students in Halcyon rental equipment, this new invention will change the way you dive.

Halcyon Backplate

As with most Halcyon products, an immense amount of behind-the-scenes work is required to create a plate we are proud to sell. Halcyon backplates have been refined over the years to provide the highest-quality finish and materials available.



Small details like the unique bends near the bottom of the plate create an ergonomic curve, increasing diver comfort. Meanwhile the precise fabrication process ensures the quality you have come to expect from Halcyon.

Each Halcyon backplate is cut from the highest quality stainless steel or har-coated aluminium and sophisticated CNC machines mill every edge; this detailed process eliminates the sharp edges common with competitors’ plates.



When you use a Halcyon backplate you know its different from the others with machine polishing augmented by individual handwork that stands out, perfecting both form and function.


• Constructed from high-grade, polished Stainless Steel or hard-coat Aluminum
• Carefully milled surfaces eliminate sharp edges

• Utility holes allow mating with Storage Pak to stow a variety of lift devices or SMB
• Stainless Steel weight: 2.7kg
• Aluminum weight: 0.9kg

What backplate to use?

While not set in stone, aluminium backplates are generally preferred by traveling or wet suit divers as they are lighter than their stainless steel counterparts. The popular backplate for dry suit diving is the stainless steel, where the additional weight is a benefit (spreading out the weight needed to compensate for buoyancy while taking it off the diver's waist).

Both backplates are based on the same Halcyon design and are compatible with the Halcyon Cinch Adjustable Harness. Most UK divers who use dry suits prefer the SS backplate.

Halcyon Single Tank Adapter

Halcyon's Single Tank Adaptor is used to mount the wing and backplate to a single cylinder.

Halcyon Deluxe Shoulder and Back Pads

Halcyon Deluxe shoulder pads and a backplate pad offers ultimate comfort while diving in thinner exposure suits.

The deluxe shoulder pads allow the diver to customize d-ring position by way of movable velcro tabs.

The backplate pad also features a BC Storage Pocket allowing the diver to carry a surface marker or lift bag in a streamlined position.

Halcyon ACB Weight Pockets

Halcyon ACB (Active Control Ballast) integrated weight pockets are an ideal solution for divers seeking releasable weight for their Halcyon BC system.

This patented Halcyon design is simple and effective; when complemented by our fixed and removable ballast options, these pockets fine tune system weighting while supporting stability and diving comfort.

• 10-lb. ACB System (5 lbs/2.3 kg per side)
• Vertical orientation consumes less space
• Simple tri-glide connection secures the ACB on the Harness waist band
• Allows mounting of a primary light behind the ACB pocket
• Side release buckle prevents accidental weight loss but can be quickly released
• Can be used with most soft or hard dive weights
• Removable weight pouch features an easy-carry handle

HALCYON REGULATOR SET WITH SPG

Halcyon HALO 2nd stage

Halcyon’s Halo second stage regulator offers steadfast reliability and impeccable performance; two methods of breathing adjustment make it the top choice for demanding divers. As soon as you experience the smooth, high volume of air delivered by a Halcyon second stage you will be hooked. Balanced downstream valve, adjustable inhalation, air control vane and a comfy mouthpiece.

Breathing underwater should feel natural and that experience is one of the things that most clearly separate Halcyon second stages competitors. As soon as you experience the smooth, high volume of air delivered by a Halcyon second stage you will be hooked. The high quality second stage regulators provide diver adjustable controls for the ultimate in breathing performance.

Balanced, downstream valve offers incredibly smooth breathing in all conditions. The design slightly offsets the force of the downstream air entering from the first stage, allowing reduced spring tension and a decreased inhalation resistance.

Adjustable inhalation control refines breathing effort by way of an easy access control knob; this allows the demanding diver an opportunity to fine-tune the air delivery of the second stage.

Air Control Vane (ACV) offers a second diver adjustment for the ability to fine-tune breathing. The ACV uses vacuum assist technology to reduce work of breathing and increase diver comfort. This level of refinement is available on all Halcyon second stages. ACV in “dive” position gives powerful breathing support while ACV in “Halcyon” position helps prevent free flows; this can be helpful on the surface, when diving in currents, while scootering, or when the Halo is used as a backup regulator.

Comfort mouthpiece is standard on every second stage to reduce jaw fatigue and mouth irritation. This long lasting mouthpiece requires only a minimum effort to hold comfortably in place. In combination with the freedom of head movement provided by Halcyon’s primary long hose, you will enjoy dives free from the jaw fatigue common with certain mouthpieces and/or poorly balanced hose routing.

• Compatible with 40% Nitrox

Halcyon Aura Second Stage

Halcyon Aura second stage regulators provide a simple, compact design that makes breathing under water feel completely natural. This high quality second stage delivers air in a smooth, dependable fashion.

Halcyon’s Aura second stage comes with a single adjustment control and a pre-set inhalation effort that suits most common diving situations; this feature makes it a common selection as a backup regulator.

Classic downstream valve style regulators have an impressive safety record and are commonly accepted as an extremely reliable design. Part of their reliability results because the downstream valve opens in the same direction as the incoming airflow; a spring counteracts the force of the incoming air. In this design a small inhalation is required to overcome the spring tension and open the valve. This spring pressure is adjusted at the factory and allows easy breathing and consistent performance.

Air Control Vane (ACV) offers a second diver adjustment for the ability to fine-tune breathing. The ACV uses vacuum assist technology to reduce work of breathing and increase diver comfort. This level of refinement is available on all Halcyon second stages. ACV in “dive” position gives powerful breathing support while ACV in “Halcyon” position helps prevent free flows; this can be helpful on the surface, when diving in currents, while scootering, or when the Aura is used as a backup regulator.

Comfort mouthpiece is standard on every second stage to reduce jaw fatigue and mouth irritation. This long lasting mouthpiece requires only a minimum effort to hold comfortably in place. In combination with the freedom of head movement provided by Halcyon’s primary long hose, you will enjoy dives free from the jaw fatigue common with certain mouthpieces and/or poorly balanced hose routing.

• Compatible with 40% Nitrox

Halcyon H-50D First Stage

The Halcyon H-50D 1st Stage Regulator is a high performance diaphragm design that is fully sealed and purpose built for harsh conditions like ice or environmentally contaminated environments. It is an ideal first stage both for single tank diving and twinset diving.

Diaphragm first stages are historically popular with cold water divers and the H-50D was engineered for extreme conditions. Go dive extraordinary places with your H-50D and be confident that you have a rugged regulator that will meet all your demands.

Balanced, environmentally sealed diaphragm provides better performance in cold water than any other diaphragm regulator while supplying consistent performance at varying tank pressures and depths; you will enjoy smooth, easy breathing throughout your dive. The dry, balance chamber, diaphragm design prevents the entry of water into the first stage mechanism and enhances a trouble-free operation; this is true even in the coldest conditions.

• 4 low pressure ports
• 2 high pressure ports
• 300 Bar DIN
• Nitrox 40% compatible

Halcyon Master SPG & Hose

The 63mm Halcyon Master Gauge is well suited as a primary SPG. The clear display is easy to read in all diving conditions. High-quality materials, and a highly visible, luminescent face make this a common favorite among divers in all environments.

• Diameter 63mm
• 0-360bar
• Nickel-plated brass
• Mineral glass lens
• Swivel pin included
• 26" HP hose included
