XS Scuba Highland Stage Bottle Kit

Technical diving requires special equipment. Stage bottles are an intricate part of technical diving for improved safety and proper techniques. XS Scuba's Stage Bottle Strap Kit is essential in meeting these requirements. Stage bottles are used by divers who need extended bottom time and can't carry that additional gas supply with them while diving deep. Stage bottles allow the diver to safely make deep dives with the knowledge that they have additional gases waiting at the predetermined staged stops for safe decompression or extended safety stops. Kit includes everything you need to properly set up stage bottles.

Included in the kit are two 4" (10.2cm) jumbo stainless-steel bolt snaps for attachment of the bottle to descent line. Bolt snaps are attached to a 1" (2.5cm) wide nylon webbing handle with 2200 lbs. (998 kg) tensile strength covered by a 11" (27.9cm) piece of clear plastic tubing to create a comfortable carry handle. To secure the bolt clips and nylon handle to the cylinder the kit comes with a marine grade stainless-steel cylinder clamp. Also included in the kit to protect the stage bottles finish is a nylon tube webbing to cover cylinder clamp with 2" (5.1cm) piece of black PVC tubing to cover the cylinder band adjustment. For securing the stage bottles regulator hoses the kit also includes a rugged 2" (5.1cm) wide elastic EPDM hose retainer with easy grip tab. There are 3 models to choose from depending on the diameter of the cylinder used. One for cylinders with diameter of 4.4" (11.2cm), one for cylinders with diameters from 5.125" to 6" (13cm to 15.2cm) and one for cylinders with a diameter from 6.5" to 8.0" (16.5cm to 20.3cm).
