NEX Underwater Products Hammerhead Side Mount Bladder
Choose Your Lift - Keep Your Profile Trim
Your buoyancy requirements may change.
Your need for a clean, streamlined side mount configuration shouldn't.
The NEX Underwater Products Hammerhead Side Mount Bladder gives you two distinct buoyancy options - 16 lbs. or 36 lbs. of lift - so you can choose the bladder that fits the diving you're actually doing without giving up the streamlined profile that makes side mount so appealing.
Whether your priority is going as compact as possible or adding substantially more lift and protection for demanding environments, Hammerhead gives you the choice.
16 lbs. - When Streamlined Means Streamlined
If minimalism is the goal, the 16 lb. Hammerhead Bladder gets straight to the point.
Its lower-volume design provides a truly streamlined 16 lbs. of buoyancy, making it the choice for divers who don't need the additional lift or protection of the larger bladder.
Less bladder. Less bulk.
Just the buoyancy you need without carrying what you don't.
36 lbs. - More Lift. Still Incredibly Trim.
Need more buoyancy?
Step up to the 36 lb. Hammerhead Bladder.
With more than twice the lift of the smaller option, the 36 lb. bladder gives you substantially greater buoyancy while remaining incredibly trim.
That makes it an attractive choice when your equipment configuration or diving environment demands more from your buoyancy system, but you still want the streamlined advantages of side mount.
Caves and Wrecks Aren't Gentle on Equipment
The 36 lb. option isn't simply a larger bladder.
It's also built with additional protection for the places where side mount diving really earns its reputation.
The larger bladder features a rugged, scratch- and puncture-resistant cover designed to help protect it when diving through:
-
Caves
-
Wrecks
-
Tight restrictions
- Other environments where your equipment may come into contact with surrounding surfaces
When you're moving through places where scraping against rock, metal or other surfaces is a real possibility, that added protection matters.
Which Hammerhead Bladder Is Right for You?
Choose the 16 lb. bladder when your priority is keeping your side mount system as streamlined and compact as possible.
Choose the 36 lb. bladder when you need greater buoyancy and want the added protection of its rugged scratch- and puncture-resistant cover.
Two different approaches.
One choice based on how and where you dive.
