Please Register or LoginIntroducing the Nomad Ray, a culmination of years of design, development, rigorous field testing, and invaluable input from leading sidemount divers and instructors worldwide. This exceptional sidemount system boasts a sleek, contour-hugging fit and an ergonomically designed shape that conforms snugly to the diver's body. Its groundbreaking features cater to sidemount divers of all skill levels, delivering unrivaled performance and comfort.
Key Features:
1. Superfabric® Abrasion Resistant Panel: The Nomad Ray features a full-length Superfabric® "skid plate" that offers optimal wear protection precisely where it's needed most. This fast-drying, highly durable, and slash-resistant material ensures resilience in the most challenging diving environments.
2. Bungees and Belly Band: Enjoy effortless adjustment with the tool-less bungee length system. Simply pull to the desired length, secure with a single overhand knot, and tuck away the excess in the integrated sleeve. The quick-adjust belly band, complete with a custom-molded bungee hook, maintains a snug fit around the diver's body.
3. Rapid Adjustment: The independently adjustable harness design accommodates divers of all body types, with shoulder and waist webbing that can be easily replaced individually if damaged or trimmed too short.
4. Versatility: The Nomad Ray excels in diving with aluminum or steel tanks, in both warm and cold water conditions, making it suitable for entry-level sidemount dives as well as demanding technical explorations. With a 42lb lift capacity, it can handle heavy steel tanks and multiple stage or deco bottles. Plus, a dual bladder option is available for added redundancy.
5. Optimized Hardware: Custom-designed stainless steel hardware, including waist transition plates, drop-down D-rings, sliding D-rings, dog bone crotch strap double D-ring, and bungee retention slides, ensures superior functionality.
6. Integrated Internal Weight Pockets: The wing's interior features a zipper that grants access to three integrated weight pockets, each capable of holding up to 5 pounds of hard or soft weights. This design maintains a low-profile while allowing quick adjustments for precise weighting.
7. Inflation and OPVs: A 16" corrugated inflation hose offers multiple mounting options for convenient access to the inflator, which can be positioned on the left or right side according to the diver's preference. The Nomad Ray includes two pull dump/OPVs—one on the top inside the wing with a shoulder pull dump and another on the bottom outside, offset to the diver's left for easy access with multiple cylinders or CCRs.

WARNING: This Dive Right In Scuba product can expose you to certain chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
We appreciate your decision to purchase Dive Right In Scuba products to provide the best in water experience. We take our job seriously! You may have noticed that our products now show a warning label at point of sale referring to carcinogens and birth defects. You may also have begun to see warnings related to carcinogenic substances or substances causing birth defects prominently displayed in hotel lobbies, hospitals, or other places of business recently. These warnings are required by the State of California, and we believe that an explanation of the California statute legislating the requirement will provide you valuable information regarding the relative risks of the chemicals that may be present in consumer products.
In 1986, the State of California passed the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act; otherwise known as “Proposition 65” or "Prop 65". Prop 65 requires businesses like ours to disclose to individuals the presence of chemicals listed in the Act prior to point of sale. The regulations implementing this Act have been amended over time with the most recent updates will take effect on August 30, 2018. There are more than 900 chemicals on the Prop 65 Chemical List, including many chemicals that are found in components of a wide array of consumer goods or are used to manufacture components that make up consumer goods.
Prop 65 does not establish acceptable concentrations for any listed chemical; however, the agency which enforces it has established what is called "safe harbor" exposure levels for about one third of these chemicals below which warnings are not required. These "safe harbor" are established for listed carcinogens based on the quantity of the chemical that would result in one excess case of cancer in an exposed population of 100,000, assuming lifetime (70-year) exposure at the level in question. A similar process is used to establish safe harbor levels for listed reproductive toxicants. Additional information in plain language on safe harbor levels is available from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment at http://oehha.ca.gov/Prop65/background/p65plain.html
At Dive Right In Scuba, the safety of your in water experience is our highest priority. We go to great effort to select materials that offer superior value, quality, and durability while also being generally recognized as safe and reliable for the full life of the product. Dive Right In Scuba also works closely with many regulatory bodies, such as the US Coast Guard and Underwriter’s Laboratories, to ensure the longevity of your on-water safety through targeted selection of durable, long lasting materials and components that undergo significant validation testing before being used to manufacture end items. Sometimes the safety promise we offer appears at odds with the health and safety requirements of other legislation in certain parts of the world when some regulations are updated ahead of others. To ensure compliance with applicable legal requirements, Dive Right In Scuba has placed a warning on products that contain a Prop 65 listed chemical, either directly or as a part of the raw material supply chain. This allows us to comply with California law and provide our California consumers with the disclosure required by Prop 65, while still promising the safest on water experience possible.
Dive Right In Scuba is working diligently with regulatory bodies and our own manufacturing partners to continue to improve our product performance and reduce the presence of less desirable chemicals. Water is a precious resource we all share that is important to the health and well-being of our planet and all people. Our goal is to continue to enhance your water life experience while reducing our overall impact to the planet and, in particular, its waterways. While it is a bit of a juggling act to achieve, we are confident you will see continued improvement in both the immediate and long term future. We hope this explanation will enable you to understand why you will be seeing warnings on some our products.
Thank you for your continued use of Dive Right In Scuba products.
