Owner/designer Rob de Rijk, and also an enthusiastic wreck diver, was many years ago, annoyed by the inadequate and inconvenient way in which he had to attach his decogas or drysuit cylinder to his dive set. Making tires to size, wetting tires, placing taps in the right corner, and then wishing that everything is tight enough and does not come loose. He went to work and designed Metalsub\'s literally world-famous Quick Release System. The Metalsub Quick release systems are designed to easily change between different cylinders. It doesn’t matter whether these are double or single cylinders. A system that literally fixes a smaller cylinder with a click of a button on the dive set and in the correct position. The Quick Release System is part of an entire family. It is compatible with Metalsub\'s aluminum battery tanks, but also with fastening systems for rebreathers and double sets.
