Frequently Asked Questions?

Can the Hollis DT System be used with a single tank?

Yes. While it is built primarily as a doubles system, the DT50 wing includes built-in cam band slots, and the backplate features slots allowing you to dive with a single tank (though adding optional cam bands or a single tank adapter may be necessary depending on your exact setup).

What makes the DT50 wing design unique for trim?

The DT50 wing features a 360-degree tapered profile that shifts more buoyancy lift toward the diver's hips. This intentional weight distribution helps technical divers maintain a flat, stable, and horizontal underwater trim while still providing reliable surface flotation.

Is the DT system durable?

Absolutely! The outer shell of the DT50 wing is built from heavy-duty 1680D Cordura, which provides exceptional resistance to abrasion and punctures against wrecks, caves, and reef structures. Inside, it features a rugged 420D nylon internal bladder with ultrasonically welded seams for reliable air retention.

Is the Solo harness easy to adjust for different exposure suits?

Yes. The Hollis Solo Harness uses a continuous-weave design with adjustable tri-glides and stainless steel D-rings. This allows you to easily loosen or tighten the webbing length to accommodate varying gear thicknesses—ranging from a light wetsuit in warm water to a thick drysuit with heavy undergarments in cold water.
