EXP Wings by Dive Rite

 Pricelist  [Currency] 

Rec EXP Wing with TransPac

Design Features of Dive Rite Air Cells

Dive Rite offers their very popular EXP Series Wings available in four different designs supporting various combinations of single or double cylinders. Dive Rite's EXP wings utilize a 360 degree, donut-style bladder with tough 1680 denier ballistic nylon shell. The donut-style design provides an even volume of inflation on top, sides and bottom, which improves buoyancy control and promotes a more efficient, horizontal trim. The EXP wings are available in black with gray side panels.

Recently, Dive Rite issued new lift capacities for their wings based on CE tests that use displacement volume in fresh water, and our website reflects these new more conservative lift values. In other documentation, you may see other lift rating values, but the wings have not changed... just the method used to perform the tests. Most other brands express lift in terms of saltwater, but the difference in lift between fresh and salt water is significant; a wing that has 45 lbs of lift in fresh water will have 51 lbs of lift in saltwater.

Each air cell incorporates an airtight inner bladder, surrounded by an outer shell constructed of heavy-duty ballistic nylon and an oral/power inflation assembly. The tough ballistic nylon outer bag protects the wing from tears and abrasion. The 15-mil urethane bladder is abrasion resistant, chemical resistant and resists the growth of microorganisms. Available as an option on the Rec EXP and Classic EXP wings, the dual upgrade incorporates two bladders to provide back-up inflation. The dual bladder wings offer the same versatility and lift capacity of the single bladder wings. The dual option is ideal for technical divers who dive wet and do not have a drysuit as alternate buoyancy or for any diver who wants to ensure their backup buoyancy has the same lift capacity as their primary.

Travel EXP Wing

With an oval shape, the Travel EXP is a lightweight, small-profile wing that is great for travel and warm-water, single tank diving. At 25lbs/12kg of lift, the Travel EXP is perfect for AL80/LP80/HP100 cylinders and as a part of the Dive Rite modular BCD system, it can be matched with either a TransPac, Transplate or any metal backplate and webbing harness. The Travel comes standard with a pull-to-dump remote exhaust elbow, 16-inch corrugated hose, and 22-inch low pressure BC inflator hose.

Voyager EXP Wing

The Dive Rite Voyager EXP Wing has 35 pounds/20 kgs of lift and is ideal for diving larger single tanks with a deco or bailout bottle. The Voyager EXP Wing is a popular choice among divers looking for a single tank wing for use with larger 8-inch diameter cylinders such as the LP95/HP119. The shape also keeps lift at the neck to a minimum, with extra lift that the base. The Voyager comes standard with a pull-to-dump remote exhaust elbow, 16-inch corrugated hose, and 22-inch low pressure BC inflator hose.

> Rec EXP Wing (45 lbs Lift)

Rec EXP Wing A hybrid wing, the Rec EXP can be worn on single or double tanks making it one of the most popular Dive Rite wings. When diving single tanks, two clips on each side of the wing attach to D-rings on the backplate, keeping the wing close to the diver's body. This avoids the "taco" effect of the wing wrapping around the tank, away from the diver, which diminishes buoyancy control. At full lift capacity, the Rec EXP has 45 lbs/ 23kg of lift and can accommodate LP95/HP119 ft3/15 L singles or smaller doubles such as HP100's/AL80's. The Rec comes standard with a plain elbow, 16-inch corrugated hose and 22-inch low pressure BC inflator hose. The Rec EXP's unique bladder design allows a single bladder Rec EXP to be altered (at the factory) to become a dual bladder wing at a later date, or it can be initially purchased as a dual bladder wing (see pricelist below). Approximate dimensions uninflated: 24-in H x 23-in W (60.9cm x 58.4cm)

> Classic EXP Wing (60 lbs Lift)

Classic EXP Wing The Classic EXP is an adjustable lift wing, sporting an optional Gusset Control System on the inside edges of the wing that can be used to further streamline the wing for wreck penetration or smaller size doubles. The GCS does not create a bungee wing because it does not restrict air flow; instead the GCS promotes added streamlining and buoyancy control, yet allows the wing to full inflate to its full capacity. At full capacity, the Classic EXP offers 60 lbs/31 kg of lift, accommodating two LP104/HP130 ft3/17L back mounted cylinders and two 80 ft3/11L stage bottles. Classic EXP Wings are popular among divers with larger doubles. The Classic EXP comes standard with a plain elbow, 12-inch corrugated hose and 15-inch low pressure BC inflator hose. The Classic EXP's unique bladder design allows a single bladder Classic EXP to be altered (at the factory) to become a dual bladder wing at a later date, or it can be initially purchased as a dual bladder wing (see pricelist below). The Classic is designed for use with heavyweight double tanks and is not for use with single tanks. Approximate dimensions uninflated: 27-in H x 25-in W (68.5cm x 63.5cm)

> CCR EXP Wing (40 lbs Lift)

CCR EXP Wing The CCR EXP is designed for the rebreather diver looking to streamline rebreather hoses. The CCR EXP offers an offset inflator hose that lies just to the outside of chest-mounted counterlungs. The open mid-section allows rebreather hoses to run through the middle of the wing, freeing up space behind the diver's head. This also means airflow is no longer restricted at the top of the wing due to hoses pressing down over the wing. At full capacity, the CCR EXP offers 40 lbs/22 kg of lift and is designed for use with the TransPac, TransPlate or metal backplates. The CCR EXP is designed for use with a rebreather or double tanks and is not for use with single tanks.

The CCR EXP is an adjustable lift wing, sporting an optional Gusset Control System cord that can be used to further streamline the wing when needed, such as when carrying small bailout bottles. The GCS is not a bungee wing because it does not restrict air flow; instead the GCS promotes added streamlining and buoyancy control, while still allowing the wing to inflate to its full capacity. The CCR EXP can be a single or dual bladder wing (see pricelist below). Its unique bladder design allows a single bladder CCR EXP to be altered to become a dual bladder wing at a later date, if desired.

DR Trim Inflation Pillow

The Dive Rite Trim Inflation Pillow is designed to solve the problem of "heavy legs" which is especially prevalent for rebreather and sidemount divers. Providing 10lbs of lift, the Trim Inflation Pillow easily attaches under most any buttplate-style system such as the Dive Rite Nomad. A 12-inch inflator with 15-inch LP hose is mounted on the right side with an OPV on the left, however these can be switched if desired. The Trim Inflation Pillow gives the diver flexibility to switch out tanks, change exposure protection or move from sidemount to rebreather units all of which affect trim and the amount of counterbuoyancy needed.
