Z-System - A Side-Mount Diving System

ayak or when one needs to make a difficult shore entry, Z-System Side-Mount Diving has proven to be a viable alternate to back-mounting your cylinder/s. Another area that has taken advantage of Z-System Side-Mount Diving configuration is divers with disabilities or physical limitations and they need to remove the weight off their backs while on the surface. The reason Z-System Side-Mount Diving configuration has such advantages for divers in the above examples is that it allows you to put the cylinders in the water prior to entering the water and then attaching them to the diver prior to descending. Z-System Side-Mount diving takes advantage of the the cylinders mounted on the side but remains “Team” oriented by still having the donateble long hose, necklace hose, bcd inflation hose and drysuit hose - if needed all feed by the cylinders that are plugged into the distribution block (Z-Manifold). The system consists of a Z-Harness, a Z-Manifold, a Z-Trim Device and Z-Weights. These components can be used together independently to provide you with an Z-Ultimate experience. Benefits of the UTD’s Z-Configuration

• Z equipment and harness can be custom fit to each diver. The advantages include comfort, ease of movement, simplicity, and minimize drag.
• Enables buoyancy, balance and trim control resulting in a more streamlined profile making moving through the water easier and more efficient.
• Easier entries and less stress on the body by staging tanks in the water. Great for divers with physical limitations.
• A safe option for air management as there is easy access to cylinder valve(s), first stage(s) and alternate regulator should a problem arise.
• 100% compatible and integrated into DIR/UTD back mounted configuration and team diving.
• Less bulk for easier dive travel. Recreational System
