Advancing wing system performance into a new dimension for technical diving
23 kg of lift and reduced drag
PROJECT's optimised shape with minimal dead air spaces gives significantly less drag and superb lift.
Straightforward and durable
The NX harness is a single, no break harness, completely failure proof.
Easy access to the valves
The carefully designed upper wing helps with reaching the cylinder valves - improving your safety.
Comfortable high stability harness
The NX harness distributes your equipment load evenly, the "V" shape crotch strap preventing sideways movement and enhancing comfort when scootering.
Available in various models

If it works why change? Because good is not good enough for XDEEP. We wanted to deconstruct the traditional wing and backplate, knowing it works, but realizing we can make it a lot better. Every element in the NX PROJECT has been developed to perfection, with no compromises in the pursuit of excellence.
An investment of three years of design time, thousands of hours of testing in the water, constant refinement of the concepts and the application of advanced materials technology brought our ideas to life.
Stability, Ergonomics and Safety dominated our priorities and have been delivered in the PROJECT.
What inspires you? The thrill as a wreck emerges into view as you descend along the shot line? The discoveries that lie in wait in the far corners of the hull? Perhaps it is reaching into the depths of the Earth, where darkness is split by your light for the first time.
Whatever inspires you, it has motivated us to develop the NX PROJECT to deliver that experience expertly and safely - however deep, however far and however long you go.
PROJECT belongs to NX Series
At XDEEP we are passionate about doing things better, improving and refining our products. We want BCD’s to be safer, to be robust and reliable and to be more comfortable for divers. Our engineers and designers leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of this goal. From the overall design concept to the little details, everything is examined and improved. Once we have come up with the design we obssess about identifying and using the best materials.
The NX Series is the culmination of our experience, expertise and passion so far. The NX collection of products has already changed dive industry thinking and has improved diver experiences from exploration cave diving to tropical reefs.
The NX PROJECT has sufficient lift to support multiple stage diving with ease, managing to achieve this in a tightly streamlined profile.
This narrower profile reduces drag, easing your resistance and effort through the water, improving gas consumption and reducing the chance of entanglement.
In an emergency situation every second counts so easy access to your valves is critical. As the NX inflator design is so compact, the upper wing size can be reduced and there is no impediment to quick and easy shutdowns.
In addition, the extra space allows for straight and tidy hose routing. Even when fully inflated the NX wing will not pressure or bend your hoses.
When you are at the surface, the majority of the wing is still underwater, providing lift. Even with several stage bottles you feel 100% safe and supported in a higher out of the water position than traditional designs. Comfort during pre-dive S-drills or waiting for your boat in a choppy sea is greatly enhanced.
The simple direct connection to the wing greatly improves air flow in and out of the wing. As a result, buoyancy control is more precise. In addition, the inflator is very responsive, deflating faster than traditional designs.
The shape of the classic backplate was originally driven by the road sign it was cut out from, time perhaps for a change. Taking a proper look at the anatomy and structure of the human back, we have reinvented the concept.
Enlarging the upper part of the backplate achieves better weight distribution during the dive and removes load form the lumbar region. The lower plate design spreads the load equally well and allows for the optimal attachment of weight pockets and accessories.
The new NX Series back plate is more comfortable, more stable and more protective of your back than any other classic plate.
The security of a classic single piece harness is unrivalled, but this has meant sacrificing comfort and adjustability. The NX series harness not only keeps all the positives but also adds a level of comfort and adjustment that the most ardent DIR diver will value.
The backplate harness interface is a completely new design, made possible by the changes to the backplate. When unfastened, the shoulder straps are 20% longer than in a standard one piece making kitting up or kit removal much easier. Tightening the waist buckle, tensions the shoulder straps to provide perfect lift.
The NX Series harness is equipped with totally new V shaped crotch strap.
The V shape is more comfortable, eliminating often uncomfortable single strap. By spreading the load in and out of the water, the V strap is a real step change forward. Long scooters become a pleasure and even large capacity twinsets and multiple stages will not become unstable.
INCREASED COMFORT
Because the load is spread over a larger area, whether being towed behind a scooter or head down in a cave or wreck, you will appreciate the innovation.
INCREASED STABILITY
The V is formed by two slots at the bottom of the back plate, allowing the straps to run from wide to central. This ensures a balance stopping any movement of the system to the side and achieving security and stability.
DOUBLE THE CLIP OFF POINTS
The NX Series V-strap has two rear D-Rings set off to each side. This allows easier access to clipped off equipment such as reels and bags etc., in contrast to the traditional centre single ring which is often difficult to reach.

PROJECT BC System has been used in
Madagascar Karst Expedition 2017
After the amazingly rewarding initial Madagascar expeditions in 2014, Ryan Dart, Phillip Lehman, Hans Kaspersetz and Patrick Widmann founded the Madagascar Cave Diving Association to further organize and pursue flooded cave explorations on the island.
During this new fall 2017 expedition, the team discovered a new cave Anjanamba that has now become Madagascar’s longest flooded cave and currently has over 17800 feet of explored passages, with leads everywhere and no end in sight.
