Product Information
The Dive Rite Nomad Ray Sidemount System is a technical sidemount BCD with 42 pounds (19 kg) of lift and a flat, streamlined wing that sits tight against the diver's body, built on a fully adjustable one-size harness and made in the USA. It is designed for divers running aluminum or steel cylinders in warm or cold water, including heavy steel tanks plus multiple stage or deco bottles.
Who it is for
The Nomad Ray suits sidemount and technical divers who want a low-profile rig. Because the harness is independently adjustable at the shoulders and waist, it can be set up quickly for a wide range of body types, and the same rig adapts from aluminum tanks in warm water to heavy steel tanks with multiple stage or deco bottles. It was developed through years of design, field testing and feedback from leading sidemount divers and instructors.
Key details
- Lift: 42 pounds (19 kg); the bailout bladder configuration adds a second, redundant bladder for backup buoyancy.
- Shell: SuperFabric material with 600 denier nylon on the backside center panel and 1000 denier nylon on the diver's side, over a laminated 420 denier nylon inner bladder.
- Inflator: 16 inch (30.4 cm) corrugated hose with inflate/deflate valve, configurable on the left or right side.
- Hardware: marine-grade stainless steel throughout, with two angled shoulder D-rings, two angled waist D-rings, two sliding waist D-rings and two chest bungee retainers.
- Trim and weight: three padded internal pockets for up to five pounds of hard or soft weight, 42 inches of diamond braid bungee per side, and a 2 inch (5 cm) padded crotch strap with scooter ring.
Compatibility and sizing
One size fits all, fully adjustable on user-replaceable 2 inch webbing, so shoulder and waist sections can be swapped independently if damaged or trimmed too short. Configurations offered here are Black, OD Green and Black with bailout bladder.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the Dive Rite Nomad Ray and will it fit me?
The Nomad Ray is one size fits all and fully adjustable. The harness is built on user-replaceable 2 inch webbing, and the shoulder and waist sections adjust independently, so the rig can be set up quickly for a wide range of body types. If webbing is damaged or trimmed too short, each section can be replaced on its own rather than replacing the whole harness.
What does the bailout bladder version add?
The Black with Bailout Bladder configuration (BC4510) adds a second, redundant bladder for backup buoyancy. The primary wing still provides 42 pounds (19 kg) of lift.
Does the Nomad Ray work with steel tanks?
Yes. The Nomad Ray is adapted to both aluminum and steel tanks in warm or cold water, and its 42 pounds (19 kg) of lift is specified for heavy steel cylinders along with multiple stage or deco bottles. Each side uses 42 inches of diamond braid bungee for cylinder adjustment, so you can tune the rigging to the tanks you dive.
Can the inflator be set up on the left side?
Yes. The Nomad Ray uses a 16 inch (30.4 cm) corrugated hose with an inflate/deflate valve configurable on either the left or right side. The system also includes three padded internal weight pockets for up to five pounds of hard or soft weight to help balance trim.
