After 15 years the OMS^® record for product safety and reliability continues to surpass all others.   NASA , World Class Record holders, deep explorers and those who simply demand the best specify OMS^® banded and non-banded BC’s.

Three new, low drag BC’s are introduced for 2007/2008:


• TACOPS^®
• Chlorine Resistant 45 lb. lift bungeed BC
• 70 lb lift Larry Green™ BC.

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 susceptible to punctures and abrasion . Housed inside our Cordura cover is a virgin urethane bladder (2 bladders on the dual bladder BC).

Elastomeric Retraction Band BC Features :

1. DUAL BLADDER: Inflator hoses and Dump valves are interchangeable for a variety of unique hose configurations. The dual bladder model features a total of four (4) pull dump valves located:

• Diver's Side bladder: lower left and top right
  
• Tank Side bladder: lower right and top left     (see figure at right)
  
• Colors: Black or Red

2. 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)

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

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

LARRY GREEN SIGNATURE SERIES BC™

The 45 lb. and 70 lb. Larry Green Signature Series™ BC's incorporate the latest thinking in hydrodynamic engineering. Deep Underwater cave explorer Larry Green conceptualized this innovative design after many years of deep cave diving experience. Both the 45 lb. and 70 lb. lift BC's are designed and tailored to fit the full length of the cylinders providing increased control over trim and the reduced width dramatically reduces drag. These are the first BC's to be designed that are specifically tailored to fit 80 cu. ft and taller cylinders
