Alpha is truly the only single tank back-mounted trim device you will ever need. To accomplish this we drew on everything we had learned designing the groundbreaking Z and Z+ side-mount systems as well as the Delta trim devices. What emerged was a versatile trim device that will accommodate almost any type of back-mount single tank diving you do.
The key to it all was a very low profile, streamlined trim device that contours to the body. The Alpha, with upto 37lbs/17kgs of lift, has a much lower profile than traditional wings. This streamlining produced a trim device that simply will not “taco” or wrap up and around the side of a tank, producing drag. Neither will the Alpha Trim Device allow gas to roll around the bladder (referred to as “air shifting”) which produces instability in the divers trim.
In designing the Z and Z+ side-mount systems we learned quite a bit about how the positioning of lift effects a divers trim. In previous wing designs, the emphasis was on placing the majority of the lift near the shoulders to achieve proper horizontal trim. The Alpha Trim Device puts the majority of the lift lower on the body, exactly where the diver needs it. This naturally places the diver in a flat, feet up position.
