NEX Underwater Products Hammerhead Sidemount System

Lose the Tank on Your Back. Discover a Different Kind of Freedom.

There are times when the best way to improve your dive isn't adding more equipment.

It's getting equipment out of your way.

The NEX Underwater Products Hammerhead Sidemount System is built around freedom of movement, giving divers a streamlined alternative to carrying a heavy cylinder on their back.

By positioning your tank - or tanks - alongside your body, the Hammerhead creates an unencumbered configuration designed to let you move naturally through the water.

Less bulk behind you. More freedom around you.

This is diving without a tank constantly reminding you it's there.

Built Around the Diver

At the heart of the Hammerhead is a harness featuring both a shoulder plate and lumbar plate, connected with rugged Cordura webbing.

The system uses bungees and clips to secure your tank or tanks alongside your body, keeping your cylinders positioned with you rather than sitting heavily on your back.

The result is a sidemount configuration designed around mobility, streamlining and freedom in the water.

Choose Your Buoyancy: 16 lb or 36 lb

Not every sidemount diver needs the same amount of lift.

That's why NEX gives you two bladder options.

16 lb Bladder

For divers who want to keep things exceptionally streamlined, the 16 lb buoyancy option provides a compact approach with minimal bulk.

When keeping your profile as clean as possible is the priority, this is where Hammerhead gets seriously interesting.

36 lb Bladder

Need additional buoyancy without abandoning the streamlined advantages of sidemount?

Step up to the 36 lb bladder.

It provides considerably more lift while maintaining the trim profile central to the Hammerhead design.

Going Into Tight Places? Take the Tougher Bladder.

Caves.

Wrecks.

Restrictions.

Places where ordinary dive equipment can take a beating.

The larger 36 lb bladder features a rugged scratch- and puncture-resistant protective cover, providing additional protection when your diving takes you through caves, wrecks and other tight environments where contact with surrounding surfaces can happen.

Because when you're squeezing through confined spaces, your buoyancy system isn't something you want to baby.

Your Tank Doesn't Have to Ride on Your Back.

For some divers, sidemount starts as a solution for caves, wrecks or restricted environments.

Then they discover something else.

They simply like the freedom.

The Hammerhead moves the cylinders away from your back and alongside your body, giving you a configuration designed to move with you through the water.

Choose the streamlined 16 lb bladder or step up to the protected 36 lb version when your diving demands more.

Clip in your tanks.

Get them off your back.

And discover why once some divers experience sidemount, going back to a traditional configuration isn't nearly as appealing.
