Description: This has to be the lightest reg ste on the market, bar none! Set includes 1st stage and 2nd stage. team it up with one of Atomics lightweight Octos. Atomic Aquatics introduced the worlds first titanium diving regulators in January of 1997. Titanium is lightweight, strong as steel and immune to seawater corrosion. It is the perfect material for use in the ocean environment and until then, no other manufacturer has been willing to take on this exotic, difficult to fabricate material. Our product features however, go beyond just the materials. We complement the use of titanium with new, innovative designs to enhance performance, reliability and ease of use. We feel these are the best regulators ever produced anywhere in the world. The Atomic Aquatics Second Stages are loaded with patented innovative features, exclusive only to Atomic Aquatics. The Automatic Flow Control ("AFC") is just one. High performance regulators are often unstable, prone to leaks and free flows. That's why manufacturers add knobs and switches to stabilize them. We do it automatically. The AFC is the first and only depth activated venturi control that automatically balances performance and stability. A computer designed airfoil inside the mouthpiece changes position with response to depth to maintain consistent, natural, and effortless breathing at all depths. No dials to turn or buttons to push, the regulator "tunes itself as you dive". Another patented innovation is the Seat Saver Orifice. The Achilles Heel of all second stages is a small rubber valve seat on the poppet. In standard designs, this seat is pushed tight against a sharp edged orifice from the day it leaves the factory, eventually making a deep impression in the seat resulting in poor performance and annoying leaks. That's why sometimes your regulator is fine when you put it away and it leaks the next time you use it. Our orifice only contacts the seat when pressurized. When not in use, the orifice automatically retracts away from the seat just enough to prevent damage during storage. This dramatically increases service life and maintains "like new" performance. All of our first stages are compact, high performing flow-through piston designs with some very special features. We've developed a unique high pressure piston seal system that is leak-free, and self-lubricating. These features mean more reliability and less maintenance so you can spend more time enjoying your diving. These materials used are the finest available, either titanium, chrome plated brass or type 316 stainless steel.
