Sidemount Loop Only 6.5´´ Long Bungee

The ring bungee system attaches a metal ring to the end of bungees to help a diver easily secure tanks.

The ring is attached by a metal fastener to a boltsnap, which is then attached to a shoulder/chest d-ring.

If used with a choker/clip system, a metal-on-metal connection is created between tanks and the diver´s harness.

This allows tanks to be walked to the water without weight resting on the bungees, which begin to bear the load as a diver becomes horizontal.

Disadvantages of this system are that it has more components, creating more points for possible failure.

Lamar Hires of Dive Rite popularized this ‘Daisy Chain Loop Bungee´ system, which is available for the Nomad line of BCDs.

It is perhaps the most hassle-free system, especially when gearing up.
