XDeep

The European Sidemount Revolution

In the conservative world of scuba manufacturing, XDeep burst onto the scene like a disruptor. Founded in Poland by Piotr Czernik, XDeep brought a fresh, engineering-led perspective to buoyancy control. They looked at traditional backplates and wings and asked, “Why has this not changed in 20 years?”

XDeep is synonymous with the modern Sidemount revolution. Their Stealth 2.0 system is widely considered the benchmark for sidemount diving. It solved the problem of weight distribution and streamlining, allowing divers to configure their cylinders perfectly alongside their body. This makes it the ideal tool for exploring the tight restrictions of UK mines and caves, or simply for relieving the back strain of carrying a twinset.

But their innovation goes beyond sidemount. The NX Series backplates redefined standard geometry, widening the harness at the shoulders for easier donning and stability. XDeep gear is manufactured in Europe using only the highest quality Cordura and European-sourced materials. For the UK technical diver, XDeep represents the cutting edge of geometry and physics—gear that makes you more streamlined, more stable, and more efficient in the water.
