DCX First Stage

Hollis newest flagship first stage is the DCX, design by divers for divers. Every feature is designed with high performance and superior manufacturing at every step. The DCX is surrounded by the most durable coating available today, PVD. The DCX was been redesigned to reduce weight while improving angle of LP and HP ports to maximize hoses routing. Hollis has made it an industry standard to include the 5th LP port making the DCX the divers first choice for backmounted doubles, sidemount or even for the recreational diver that demands the same performance as a technical diver

Lighter Weight

PVD "industrial" plating - PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a super-hard coating that is by far the most durable coating available today. Superior quality that will out last any traditional finish.

Unique over-balanced, diaphragm design - As the diver descends, the over-balancing feature allows the medium pressure gas in the hose to increase at a rate faster than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth.

2 HP ports and 5 LP ports for optimum hose routing

5th port allows for side-mount or twin cylinder set ups

An environmental dry system keeps water out of the main spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and keeping salt and contamination out

Suitable for cold-water use

PHYSICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION (PVD) Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a time tested proven technology that has been used for decades in other industries and is now available for specific Hollis products. PVD is a collective set of processes used to deposit thin layers of material, typically in the range of few nanometers to several micrometers. This state of the art process provides a superior alternative to traditional “Chrome Plating”, which is environmentally friendly and provides long lasting durablity
