Features:
- Test-proven breathing performance and cracking effort surpasses many
traditional downstream second stages when it comes to ease of breathing.
- New dive/pre-dive switch enables you to detune the unit when not in use,
eliminating free flows.
- Flexible purge cover is easy to locate and depress for quick clearing,
even when wearing thick gloves.
- Power inflate and deflate buttons are positioned on top of the housing
when the AIR2 is in your mouth, making it easier to control buoyancy.
- Power inflate button features a lighter lever so less load is required
to initiate inflation.
- Power inflate and deflate buttons can be differentiated by color and
touch due to their different shapes and sizes, improving ascent control and
safety when inflating or deflating the BC.
- Large bite tabs on the mouthpiece guarantee a secure grip in high-stress
situations.
- CE certified EN250 (A> 50°F warm water test controls) as a second stage
regulator.
Description:
An octo/inflator combines a backup regulator with a BC's buoyancy control
system in one compact, at-the-ready unit. The cool thing about an octo/inflator
is that it's always within reach because it's constantly being used to control
descents, adjust buoyancy, and vent air during ascents. In the event of an
emergency there's no need to grope for a dangling octo reg; simply pass your
primary reg to the diver in need while you take the octo/inflator, enabling you
to breathe easily and control your buoyancy as you make your way safely back to
the surface.
SCUBAPRO introduced the octo/inflator concept to diving almost thirty years ago
with the introduction of the original AIR2 (short for Alternate Inflator Reg).
Now in its 5th generation, it offers even more in both performance and ease of
use.
As a backup reg the AIR2 delivers air as smoothly as most primary second stages.
The flexible purge cover is large and easy to locate, allowing for quick
clearing when it comes time to take a breath. In addition, a new dive/pre-dive
switch lets you detune the AIR2 when it's not being used, eliminating free
flows. And unlike traditional dangling octos, the AIR2 is always within easy
reach if needed.
As a BC power inflator the AIR2 is very easy to use. It fits comfortably in the
hand, and the large inflate and deflate buttons can be differentiated by both
color and touch, improving safety on both ascents and descents. The power
inflate button features a very light lever so it's easy to initiate inflation.
Also, both inflate and deflate buttons are positioned on top of the housing,
making them easier to operate when breathing off the unit without having to
change hand positions.
If you want a reliable backup reg that's always within easy reach, that does
double-duty as a BC inflator/deflator, and that streamlines your dive profile by
eliminating a dangling octo hose, you're going to love the AIR2. It was diving's
first octo/inflator and, with five generations of improvements, it's still the
best.
