Elastomeric Retraction Band BC Features :

1. SINGLE BLADDER: The single bladder model has two (2) relief valves located: divers’ right shoulder and divers’ lower left. Inflator hoses and Dump valves are interchangeable Colors: Black or Red (45 lb. Black only)

2. POWER DEFLATION / ORAL INFLATION: The unique elastomeric bands (use is optional) assist in deflation, but still allow the diver to orally inflate the BC.

3. ELIMINATION OF AIR SHIFT: The OMS® elastomeric bands evenly compress the BC, eliminating the massive airshift associated with non-banded BCs that typically occurs when changing body plane.

4. LOW DRAG / LOW SNAG: The OMS® bands typically retract the BC to a width less than the diver’s shoulders greatly reducing Drag and Snag potential.

5. TRIM ADJUSTABILITY: By adding or eliminating bands in different parts of the BC, the diver can adjust: a) lateral trim to compensate for stage bottles, cameras, etc. b) Horizontal trim e.g. head up, down or level.

FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE™: OMS® uses 1000 denier Cordura backed with 5.0 oz of Urethane to prevent abrasion and increase puncture resistance on all BC’s. Most competitors lose the First Line of Defense™ on their BC’s by using little or no urethane backing. This leaves their product vulnerable to punctures and abrasion . Housed inside our Cordura cover is a virgin urethane bladder (2 bladders on the dual bladder BC).
