Single Tank
New Line of Wings
Experience the next evolution in recreational diving with Dive Rite’s new line of single tank wings. Featuring an innovative 3D contoured design, these wings hug the cylinder closer than ever before, offering precise lift placement for improved trim underwater and optimized surface flotation. The donut/360° oval shape facilitates gas transfer across the bottom of the wing for improved buoyancy and effortless horizontal trim. By narrowing the overall width, the shape is kept as compact as possible without the need for bungee. Dive Rite’s new line of wings is offered in three options: Travel, Voyager, or Artic, depending on your lift capacity needs: 25, 35, or 45 pounds. Available in Black, OD Green, Blue, and Red.

FAQs
What makes Dive Rite’s single tank systems different from other brands?
Dive Rite’s single tank systems are designed with modularity and adaptability in mind. They offer high-quality materials, streamlined profiles, and compatibility with a variety of accessories, allowing divers to tailor their system to their specific diving needs.
Why doesn't Dive Rite offer traditional jacket-style BCDs?
At Dive Rite, we are committed to providing divers with equipment that enhances performance, comfort, and adaptability underwater. We specialize in backplate and wing style buoyancy compensators (BCs) because they offer significant advantages over traditional jacket-style BCDs, especially for divers seeking a streamlined and customizable experience.
What are the benefits of backplate and wing systems compared to jacket-style BCDs?
- Streamlined Profile: The wing positions the air bladder behind you, reducing drag and making movement through the water more efficient.
- Improved Trim and Buoyancy Control: With the weight distributed along your back, achieving horizontal trim is easier, enhancing control and reducing effort.
- Modularity: Components like the backplate, wing, and harness can be mixed and matched to suit your specific diving needs.
- Durability: Built with robust materials like stainless steel or aluminum, these systems are designed to withstand rigorous use.
Are backplate and wing systems suitable for recreational diving?
Absolutely! While they are popular among technical divers, many recreational divers also prefer backplate and wing systems for their comfort and performance benefits. They are versatile and can be configured for various types of diving.
Will it be difficult to switch from a jacket-style BCD to a backplate and wing system?
Most divers find the transition straightforward. The backplate and wing setup may feel different at first, but many quickly appreciate the enhanced buoyancy control and streamlined feel. We recommend practicing in a controlled environment to get accustomed to the new system.
Can I use a backplate and wing system with single tanks, or is it only for double tanks?
You can use our backplate and wing systems with both single and double tanks. We offer wings specifically designed for single-tank diving, ensuring optimal performance and stability regardless of your setup.
What kind of tanks are compatible with Dive Rite’s single tank systems?
Dive Rite’s single tank systems are compatible with most standard aluminum and steel tanks commonly used in recreational diving. Always check the wing’s lift capacity and secure mounting when configuring the system.
Is the Hydro Lite system suitable for travel diving?
Yes, the Hydro Lite is specifically designed for travel divers. It’s lightweight, compact, and ideal for warm water diving with single tanks, making it easy to pack and transport.
What is the difference between the Travel, Voyager, and Artic wings?
The primary difference between the Travel, Voyager, and Artic wings is lift. The Travel Wing offers 25 pounds of lift, which is ideal for warm water, recreational diving. The Voyager Wing offers 35 pounds of lift, making it ideal for diving steel cylinders in warm water or heavier exposure protection in moderate temperature waters. The Artic Wing boasts 45 pounds of lift to tackle the most challenging cold water environments.
