Halcyon Stage & Accessory Attachment Hardware

Stage Bottle Rigging Kit
The DIR Stage Bottle Kit is the model of efficiency and function. Proper rigging and marking of safety, stage, and decompression gas cylinders is a hallmark of the DIR philosophy. Our kit includes all you need to correctly set up your auxiliary cylinders for technical or overhead diving. The Kit is the same setup used for every stage, safety, and decompression gas cylinder utilized in the world record exploration of the caves of the Woodville Karst Plain.

  • Two 1" stainless bolt snaps
  • 8.5" stainless tank band with stainless cylinder clamp
  • Six feet of heavy duty cord, with two feet of thick rubber hose protector
  • Thick tubular nylon covering for cylinder clamp to prevent exposure suit and bottle chafing
  • No metal neck rings; all attachment hardware can be cut free in case of entanglement or other emergency situations
Stage Bottle Marking Decals
Ensure proper marking of decompression, stage and safely bottles with GUE tank marking decals and gas analysis tape.

The MOD decals employ three inch black letters on a white background to ensure high visibility on any tank. Offered as a choice of Oxygen 20, 70, 120, 190, 240 or 300 MOD, all decals come in sets of two.

Accurate gas fills are facilitated using GUE gas analysis tape. The self adhesive tape affixes easily. When it's peeled off, it's peeled off-- no annoying, gummy paper residue!

Dry Suit Inflation Systems
If your idea of a good dive includes cold water, long bottom times, or helium-based mixes, you will understand the necessity of Halcyon's dry suit inflation kit. Our Octogrip Super Cam Buckle system securely holds the 14cf bottle to your single or double tank rig. A 1st stage regulator, OPV, and 24" inflator hose are provided with the complete kit. Inflation bottle mounting straps may be purchased separately.

New for 2003: mounting straps are now available for 6cf dry suit inflation bottles.

A Clip for Every Need
Stainless ClipsHalcyon currently offers high quality stainless steel bolt snaps with 0.375", 0.5", 0.625", 0.75" 1" and 1.25" eyelets. Our stainless steel double enders are available in 3.75" and 4.25" lengths. 2" stainless D-rings are available full size and modified short lengths, along with 2" stainless triglide D-ring fasteners. Halcyon's high quality stainless steel hardware should not be confused with conventional nickel plated brass hardware found in many dive and hardware stores. The smooth operation and high quality stainless steel make this hardware excellent for all of your diving needs. Don't bet your life on hardware that could rust, oxidize, or corrode shut– use Halcyon stainless steel clips and snaps.
Regulator Necklace
Regulator Necklace
Simple attachment necklace for your reserve second stage. Thin enough to fit under your mouthpiece zip-tie, strong enough to last several dive seasons. We like to think of it as another example of DIR's zen elegance when compared to other contraptions used to secure your back-up regulator.
Halcyon: Above Average


DIR Tip #62
Attachment hardware is the glue that holds the DIR system together. From streamlining gauge placement to attaching stage and decompression bottles, clips and bolt snaps need to be in top working condition at all times. Stainless steel hardware costs a bit more than bronze or brass but offers far superior quality and will not oxidize. An oxidized mechanism will not open or close properly-- and always seems to fail when needed the most.
