The Dive Rite Nomad Ray Sidemount System is the product of years of design, development, field testing, and feedback from some of the worlds leading sidemount divers and instructors.

The result is a sidemount system that has a flat, streamlined fit and an ergonomic shape that sits tight against the divers body. Its unique and innovative features will appeal to sidemount divers of all skill levels.

The Dive Rite Nomad Ray Sidemount System is perfectly adapted to diving with aluminum or steel tanks, in warm or cold water, from entry-level sidemount dives to the most demanding technical exploration.

The 42lbs lift capacity provides the buoyancy necessary for heavy steel tanks and multiple stage or deco bottles. An optional bailout bladder will provide 25lbs of additional lift.

Different colours

The Nomad Ray is available in black, blue, OD green, pink, or red. If you happen to find yourself in a tight spot, the Rays abrasion-resistant skid plate will have your back: providing wear protection exactly where its needed the most. SuperFabric is a fast-drying, highly durable, and slash-resistant material. The Nomad Ray Sidemount System is ready to perform in the toughest diving environments.

Dive Rite Nomad Ray is easily adjustable

The Nomad Ray can be easily adjusted to comfortably fit all body types. The independently adjustable harness design can be quickly set up for any diver. Shoulder and waist webbing can be replaced independently if damaged or trimmed too short.

The Nomad Ray uses a fast, tool-free bungee length adjustment system. Simply pull to the desired length, tie a single overhand knot, and tuck the excess into the integrated sleeve. A quick-adjust belly band with a custom moulded bungee hook keeps the wing wrapped snugly around the divers body.

Stainless Steel hardware

The Nomad Ray utilises custom-designed stainless steel hardware pieces including the waist transition plates, drop down D-rings, sliding D-rings, bungee retention slides, and a dog bone crotch strap double D-ring for a bonus place to clip off accessories.

Integrated weight pockets

A zipper on the inside of the Nomad Ray wing allows for access to three integrated weight pockets capable of holding up to five pounds of each of hard or soft weight. This design maintains the lowest profile possible while providing quick access for the diver to add trim weights or adjust mission-specific weighting. Padded pocket walls add protection and comfort for the divers back.

Inflation

A 16 corrugated inflation hose gives the diver multiple mounting options to keep the inflator close at hand. The hose can easily be swapped from the left side to the right side of the wing according to diver preference.

The Nomad Ray includes two pull dumps/OPVs. One is located at the top left on the inside of the wing with a shoulder pull dump using custom moulded slides to route the pull cord. The second is located at the bottom outside of the wing, offset to the divers left to maintain a low profile back and for easier access when used with multiple cylinders or CCRs.
