I did buy the xDeep system (should be arriving in the mail today) but I also bought a DR trim pillow and rigged it up like the Stealth wing. I've been considering making my own Razor style harness to use with the trim pillow for warm water and using the xDeep system solely as a cold water setup...

I've done many bridge inspections on commercial scuba. It is occasionally the best way to perform an underwater inspection in remote locations at shallow, limited hazard bridge sites. There have been times where it would be completely impractical and uneconomical to use surface supplied...

Well, I did it! I bought an xDeep Stealth 2.0 last night! I am eagerly awaiting it's arrival and will update this thread after I get the chance to dive it a bit.

I would have to assume from your posts that you have never used one of these torches before and you are planning on designing some sort of "jerry rig" to dive down to 160' on scuba with a tank of oxygen and a battery strapped to your back so you can cut some portholes? Burning is a dangerous...

Seal the battery from seawater....what the F are you talking about?! You should read the Broco torch manual and follow it exactly! Then have experienced commercial divers and dive supervisor perform the work. Follow the link below...

It's funny how this thread has progressed! ALL of the rigs described above will work, but some work better than others for different types of dives. Warm water, cold water, steel tanks, aluminum tanks, stages, no stages, overhead, open water, etc. There is no one setup that performs ideally for...

This is so true! Companies in the US only require that you have an ADCI card. If you want to work for a US company then saving your time and money would be wise! The only way it might benefit to go to any other school is if you want to get a job in that region, you can visit companies in the...

I'm not sure the SMS50 harness would be the ideal platform for such a system. I am hypothetically speaking about a new design here. However, if that's your idea of a perfect harness then anything could work with a wing attachment like the Stealth 2.0, just attach a few bungee straps on different...

You should try to stay in the Gulf for school if you want to work in the Gulf. That way you can network and show up in person at various companies you're interested in working for while you are still in school. These companies get tons of resumes every month, you have a way better shot landing a...

I can see where you are coming from and think you just hit the nail on the head! If a manufacturer could have one or more great harnesses with multiple options for interchangable buoyancy/weight systems that are easily swapped then they would corner the sidemount market. This accomplishment...

I've been talking to someone who has done just that. He originally bought the Razor but wasn't fond of the wing so purchased a Stealth wing. He loves the Razor harness with the exception that it's a "pain in the ass" (his quote) to adjust the harness to fit differing exposure protection when...

I've read a number of posts here on SB regarding Razor divers that switched to Stealth, they all seem to be satisfied with thier decision. One thing seems clear, the Razor wing produces considerable drag went inflated. All those YouTube videos showing seemingly effortless manuevers with the...

That's too bad, I thought that might be the case from the photos. If they could redesign a bit to make it more compact it would be a hard system to beat for sure! I'm sure I could rig it up to be a little more portable but honestly I think I'm leaning towards the Razor since I'm pretty confident...

Thanks for the Reply! I am very curious about the xDeep system. Do the spine weight pockets fold up for easy travel? I would love to be able to throw my entire sidemount setup into a backpack, carry-on or be able to squeeze it into any available space in my commercial box when traveling. That's...

I am torn between purchasing an xDeep Stealth 2.0 or a Razor 2 sidemount system. Both seem to be around the same purchase price (expensive). The Stealth is about $100 cheaper. I've heard/read good and bad things about both systems but if it came down to your $700-$800, which would you buy...

That is brilliant!!! You could probably modify your current weights with a saw...and a respirator!

The only complaints I've heard of about the Razor 2 were regarding the wing. Installation of baffles within the wing and an easier inflation device on the secondary bladder would be my guess...

I would be interested in this harness too. Of course fr0gman has first dibbs, but let me know if it's still for sale. Thanks! ---------- Post added June 14th, 2013 at 11:44 AM ---------- I saw this too. I bid on one and it went up over $600 so I let it go, thinking that since they sold so...

I constructed a setup like this with my Nomad. I used two first stages with gauges and LP commercial bailout whips. These whips connected to a manifold on my back and I had all my hoses pre-routed right where I wanted them (extremely streamlined). All I had to do was plug in the whips and I was...
