Hi,
Good question! The Nomad is designed for sidemount-style diving. The wing is designed to give preferential lift around the hips...where sidemount divers need buoyancy because wearing tanks along the side tends to promote "heads-up" buoyancy, so the Nomad wing counteracts that.
So...if you are a diver who is prone to being heads up in the water and you want to give more lift around your hips and you wish to have a rig that can dive singles, doubles or sidemount the Nomad is a good fit for you.
However, if you are looking for one rig that does it all perfectly...that doesn't exist. You should purchase a harness/wing set up designed for the primary diving that you do. If you primarily dive singles, then a Travel or Venture wing is going to be your best fit.
If you primarily dive sidemount, but occassionally jump in with double tanks or go on vacation and want to do a single tank boat dive one day as a break from sidemount diving, you can wear the Nomad.
To find out what wing is right for you, check out our
