OMS Smartstream Signature Wing System

The OMS SmartStream Signature System features a quick-adjust harness developed to alleviate adjustment challenges which may arise while donning a heavy rig. By pulling the waist straps forward, the shoulder straps secure to the diver’s shoulders and back - allowing proper adjustments to be instantly achieved.

This uniquely adjustable OMS system allows the use of OMS weight pockets or a place to hold a canister light. The system is delivered fully assembled with Performace Mono 32lbs Wing in different colours, backplate, harness, storage pac, weight pockets and required hardware.

This modular system gives you the choice to use the harness in its adjustable configuration with or without weight pockets (pull the waist straps forward to don and push them off to doff) or simply as a standard DIR fixed harness.

Ali backplate will have light weight aluminium hardware, buckles, triglides and D-rings whereas stainless backplate will come with SS hardware. With this innovative design from Ocean Management Systems all you need is a cylinder and your regulators.

The system ships fully assembled on a single tank wing with the OMS Weight Pockets already installed. The Performance Mono Wing also has stabilizing bars built into the wing to reduce tank shifting during a dive.

One size fits all

The OMS SmartStream was developed to alleviate adjustment challenges which may arise while donning a heavy rig with webbing without compromising from the continuous loop. Whether when donning the wing/harness or underwater, divers can make necessary adjustments by pulling the waist straps forward, through specially designed loops, tightening the shoulder straps and securing the wing/tanks to the diver’s shoulders and back.

Proper adjustments can be instantly achieved by using this system while it is also possible to thread the webbing in the classic DIR way with pre-adjustments.

The uniquely adjustable OMS SmartStream system allows the use of OMS weight pockets or, if the pockets are not required, a loop to hold a canister light.

This modular system gives you the choice to use the harness in three configurations.

• On the fly adjustable easy on-and-off with OMS vertical weight pockets
• On the fly adjustable easy on-and-off without weight pockets / with canister holder loop & extra buckle
• Standard "DIR" configuration with pre-adjusted harness settings

Apeks MTX-RC Long Hose Regulator

The Apeks MTX-RC Single Cylinder Long Hose Regulator Set is designed for the diver that prefers a long hose configuration on a single cylinder. It is also the perfect set-up for the recreational diver looking to transition into twinset diving in the future, as the addition of another first stage creates a twinset regulator configuration.

Combining rugged, military grade engineering with the super-smooth breathing experience that Apeks regulators are renowned for, the MTX-RC single cylinder set dives your way.

Featuring the same freeze-resistant technology enjoyed by the whole MTX-R range, the MTX-RC resists freeflows in even the coldest temperatures, while offering the user the additional flexibility to dial it out for a comfortable breathe in less extreme environments.

• Future-Proof Design: Easily adaptable for twinset diving with the addition of a second first stage.
• Cold Water Rated: MTX-RC first stage performs reliably in extreme cold, resisting free flows.
