Hollis Katana 2 Sidemount BCD

The Hollis Katana 2 is one of the most trusted sidemount BCD systems in technical diving. Designed for serious divers who demand modularity, trim control, and streamlined performance, the Katana 2 delivers a low-profile configuration ideal for caves, wrecks, and advanced recreational diving.

Whether you are transitioning into sidemount or refining your technical setup, the Katana 2 provides the adjustability and stability experienced divers expect.

Built for True Sidemount Divers

Unlike traditional back-inflate BCDs adapted for sidemount, the Hollis Katana 2 was purpose-built for horizontal trim and balanced cylinder positioning. The redesigned bladder and harness system allow for improved weight distribution and in-water comfort.

Key benefits include:

• Streamlined, low-profile bladder
• Adjustable bungee cylinder retention
• Modular harness system
• Durable 1680D Cordura construction
• Multiple stainless steel D-rings for stage bottles and accessories
• QFS (Quick Fit System) for easy harness adjustment

Modular & Adaptable Configuration

The Katana 2 features a fully modular design. Divers can adjust trim weight placement, bladder positioning, and harness tension to match personal preference or environmental demands.

The Quick Fit System allows fast and secure sizing adjustments, making it ideal for divers who travel or dive in varying exposure protection.

Ideal for Caves, Wrecks & Technical Diving

The streamlined profile reduces drag and maintains proper trim in overhead environments. The wing design promotes horizontal positioning and efficient gas management when running multiple cylinders.

This is a proven system trusted by sidemount instructors and technical divers worldwide.
