OMS Deep Ocean Wing 2.0 (48-60 lb Lift)

A technical single/double-tank wing with an internal retraction-band system that keeps the deflated bladder folded flat instead of ballooning outward.

Wing / backplate

Modular harness and wing, the standard technical-diving setup. Expect to configure backplate, wing, and harness separately rather than buying a fixed jacket.

"Lift capacity" is the manufacturer-rated buoyancy the wing/bladder can provide at the surface. Match it to your exposure suit, tank, and weighting, not the biggest number available.

Pros

Interior retraction-band system keeps the deflated wing folded flat behind the diver's shoulders instead of ballooning outward, reducing drag and entanglement risk
Sold in 48 lb and 60 lb lift versions and works with either single or double cylinders
Compatible with OMS's existing IQ Lite, Comfort Harness III, and SmartStream harness/backplate systems as a lift upgrade

Cons

Sold as the wing/bladder only; a separate OMS harness and backplate are required to actually dive it
OMS does not publish a D-ring count or total system weight for the wing itself, since those depend on whichever harness it's paired with

Diver community sentiment

Mixed opinions

Discussion specific to the Deep Ocean 2.0 is sparse on Scubaboard, but shows real reservations: a 1000+ dive veteran called it "a poor fit for both applications" when trying to use it for both doubles and occasional single-cylinder diving, and noted the interior retraction-band system can't be cut off if a diver doesn't want it. Broader OMS-wing threads are more positive about the brand generally, citing years of reliable, durable service, but also carry lingering criticism of OMS's older bungee-retention wings as oversized and moderate quality, plus scattered complaints about customer service.

The Deep Ocean Wing 2.0 is OMS’s technical single/double-tank wing, sold separately in 48 lb and 60 lb lift versions for divers who already own an OMS harness and backplate and need more lift for doubles or cold-water configurations. It’s built around an interior retraction-band system that keeps the deflated bladder folded flat rather than ballooning out behind the diver, along with dual dump valves, stainless steel grommets, and both inflator and low-pressure hoses included. It ships as the wing/bladder alone and bolts onto any of OMS’s IQ Lite, Comfort Harness III, or SmartStream harness systems.
