ZEN

Applying advanced technology for a new dimension in sports diving

• Perfect position: The wing has been carefully designed to achieve perfect positioning in water with great comfort at the surface.
• Unique NX series harness: NX harness is easy to put on and take off without compromising stability, comfort and security.
• Compatible with doubles: Great flexibility, use your NX Series harness with doubles just by replacing the wing.
• High lift and minimized drag: The gas position in the wing ensures minimal drag and no unwanted dead air spaces.
• Incredibly tough: Double shell Cordura wing is extremely durable, perfect for wreck diving.

BE AT ONE WITH YOUR EQUIPMENT
The NX ZEN is so named for a reason; that feeling of being ‘at one’ with the world that diving brings. Advances in materials technology, in diving design and our ability to apply modern engineering concepts created a dive system that delivered on our priorities.

A stable, comfortable and ergonomic BCD that is truly ZEN.

WITH YOU ABOVE AS WELL AS BELOW THE WAVES
Modern BCDs not only need to create a sense of freedom in the water but also provide security and confidence on the surface. Careful attention to the wing design and the balance point of the NX ZEN system means you are held comfortably and confidently whilst waiting for your boat pickup or sharing the excitement of the dive with your buddies.

LESS effort MORE comfort and safety
The tight to the tank streamlining makes buoyancy control more precise. The wing shape adds stability due to reduced air migration and attention to the ideal balance for easy expert trim.

When diving in currents you want to reduce drag for ease of finning. When exploring swim throughs in a wreck or reef you want to be free of entanglement. This is where you will truly value the NX ZEN’s design.

Less is more
The ZEN wing is deliberately narrow so that it does not protrude from the side of your tank. This brings advantages in enhancing your buoyancy control, in reducing any entanglement hazards and in significantly reducing drag. As we reduce drag we usually improve our gas consumption, enabling longer and safer dives.

ZEN wing provides 19kg of lift, while its size is comparable to classic wings with 17kg of lift.

Smaller upper wing section
The compact engineering of the NX series inflator has allowed a reduction in the required size of the upper part of the wing. This results in a position at the surface that lifts you high out of the water and ensures lift is in the right place when submerged.

Precise control of gas movement
Traditional inflation systems are mounted on the side, so that as gas is injected it can disturb trim if you are in a good flat position.

The compact nature of the NX series adapter allows it to be placed dead centre, eliminating unwanted gas movement. Air is added and is immediately distributed equally down both sides of the wing, leaving you in perfect trim.

FINALLY - AN ERGONOMIC BACKPLATE
The classic backplates' design history dates back to what could be cut out of an old road sign. For the first time since then XDEEP has looked properly at the ergonomics and anatomy of a diver's back. This redesign has created a plate that is better in every respect.

Enlarging the upper part of the backplate has achieved better weight distribution during the dive and removes load from the lumbar region. The lower plate design spreads the load comfortably, safely allowing for the optimal attachment of weight pockets and accessories.

The new NX Series backplate is comfortable, stable and protective of your back.

Perfect 3D mesh pad in standard
ZEN, as with any other set from the NX Series is equipped with XDEEP’s perfect 3D Mesh lining.

This soft but non compressive pad adds to your comfort, whether in board shorts or drysuit. It helps prevent any small movement of the back plate against your back, adding to stability and security.

The 3D Mesh material does not need any additional lead due to the smart materials technology that allow easy water penetration and drainage.
