History of JAVA Sidemount


"JAVA Sidemount was born from a desire to improve upon what was already available in the market. As a sidemount diver, I often wondered whether existing products could truly meet the specific needs I encountered during my dives. Rather than wait, I decided to create a solution tailored for simplicity, efficiency, and performance."

— Rinto Aryadi, Founder of JAVA Sidemount

THE INVENTOR OF JAVA

Redefining Sidemount for all Divers

Sidemount diving was originally developed for cave exploration. And most BCD systems today still reflect that narrow origin. But diving has evolved. Today, sidemount is no longer exclusive to cave divers; it’s embraced by recreational divers, instructors and technical explorers alike.

Despite this evolution, most sidemount systems still fall short.

They’re often complex, hard to adjust, and tailored only to specific diving styles. One of the biggest pain points? Dive centers almost never touch sidemount harnesses, not because they don’t believe in them, but because the setups are notoriously time-consuming and unintuitive. Adjusting a sidemount harness for different body types or configurations typically takes too much time and expertise.

The Birth of JAVA Sidemount

JAVA Sidemount was built to solve this exact problem, to deliver a system that’s simple, adaptable, and versatile enough for all levels of sidemount diving. Whether you're a beginner, an instructor, a cave diver, or a dive center operator, JAVA removes the complexity and brings back the focus to what really matters: the dive.

From plug-and-play adjustability to a streamlined, low-profile design, every part of JAVA is made with ease, safety, and performance in mind. No more endless tweaks. No more hesitation from dive centers. Just a smart, elegant solution for the modern diver
