The Ultimate system for “Sidemount” diving, was created to meet specific practical needs: a quest for simplicity and minimalism. Offering comfort and versatility of use.
Today, the ULTIMATE system is only available for Sidemount students from the DiveUltimate instructors community: linking together high standards of training and an affordable and functional gear!

There are three lines of thought that allow material cohesion in the system: the harness, the flotation element, and the configuration of additional hardware; fruit of much thought and many trials, always responding to an important precept:

“Eliminate the superfluous, Optimise the necessary.”

The Ultimate Sidemount Harness

The simplier the sytem, the more important the details!

– Simple webbing structure: elimination of any rigid element that can create stiff points which can lead to discomfort, points of wear and tear on the strap, the wetsuit, or the dry suit!! No plates, no sewing.

– Easy adjustments: independent shoulder, waist, and crotch straps, allowing for separate adjustments. “Easy-adjust Belt Slides” at the adjustable points: the webbing slides easily for simple and precise adjustments!

– Unique “low and wide profile” D-rings: keep cylinders correctly placed on the diver’s sides, while allowing for easier manipulation than with classical low profile D-rings.

– Continuous bungee: better positioning and clasping of the tanks along the diver’s body in all positions. Simplified placement of tanks: no need to handle the bolt snap to attach the valves below the diver’s arms! A simple procedure allows single tank diving without harness movement on the diver.

– Double Bungee: Double bungee 4.5mm high strength, extra redundancy : elimination of specific procedure in response to a breach of bungee!

– LB-SR System: Unique DiveUltimate feature! Adjustable sliding D-ring for perfect tank positioning on your body regardless their buoyancy, you can now trim them the way you need to in one simple in-water gesture!!

Buoyancy Control:

After several years of using the Ultimate harness with various buoyancy devices (dry suit alone, oral inflation bag, adapted BCD…), Ultimate Harness is now available in two distinct buoyancy control device options :

Sidemount Ultimate + Z trim UTD

“Z-trim” by UTD “Stealth Wing” by X-Deep

Ultimate + “Z-trim”
After working closely with Andrew Georgitsis and John Walker of “UTD equipment”, the “Z-Trim” was adopted to accompany the Ultimate harness. Minimalist, lightweight, incorporating pockets for weights, robust … it is an ideal “Sidemount-specific wing”!
Perfectly suited for Recreational Sidemount diving, as well as multi-stage technical or cave diving !

Ultimate + “Stealth wing”
Produced by X-Deep and designed by Patrick Widdman (Cave explorer QDT’s member, Cave Instructor and friend of mine here in Mexico) is a different approach: the buyancy device and the harness remain independent for greater versatility!
Particularly robust, this double Cordura bladder of 17 liter is an extremely good option for demanding cave and technical divers who usually evolve in difficult environments!
