Extended Argon Mounting Strap - Optimized Solution for Secure Drysuit Inflation

The Extended Argon Mounting Strap is a critical accessory designed for divers using small inflation cylinders like the 6 cubic foot argon bottle. This strap is specifically engineered to extend the mounting point away from the backplate, preventing interference with back-mounted counterlungs. Ideal for rebreather divers, such as those using the JJ-CCR, this design ensures comfort and reliability during deep or cold-water dives. It can also be used normally with doubles, etc.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Extended Design for Enhanced Comfort: The strap positions the cylinder further from the backplate, eliminating interference with back-mounted counterlungs. This setup is particularly beneficial for JJ CCR rebreather divers who require optimal equipment placement to avoid impacting breathing efficiency.
• Versatile Compatibility: The mounting strap can be used with both single and double cylinder setups, providing a secure attachment for a variety of configurations.
• Secure Hold with OctoGrip Strap: Equipped with Halcyon’s OctoGrip strap, the mounting system offers a firm grip on the cylinder, reducing the risk of movement during dives.

Detailed Description:

The Extended Argon Mounting Strap is tailored to secure a 6 cubic foot or similar-sized inflation cylinder, allowing divers to maintain efficient dry suit inflation without compromising their rebreather’s configuration. By keeping the cylinder properly positioned, the strap helps divers achieve a more organized setup, minimizing risks of entanglement or improper buoyancy control during dives. The use of the OctoGrip strap adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that the cylinder remains firmly in place even during challenging underwater activities.

Using argon gas for drysuit inflation is a common practice among technical and cold-water divers. Argon is an excellent insulator, with properties that significantly reduce heat loss compared to standard air. Argon has low thermal conductivity, which means it provides better insulation than air. This is especially advantageous during cold-water drysuit dives, where maintaining body heat is essential for safety and comfort. In deep or long-duration dives, using argon for inflating the dry suit helps to retain warmth, reducing the risk of hypothermia or cold stress, which can impact a diver’s alertness and reaction times.

Specifications:

• Cylinder Size Compatibility: 6 cubic feet (6CF) or similar-sized inflation cylinders
• Use Case: Compatible with single or double cylinder setups, as well as rebreathers like the JJ-CCR
