Description:
Air Buddy is the modern alternate air source. It is the smallest, safest and
most convenient alternate air source on the market today. First introduced in
1996, it has become widely used by government agencies, sport divers around the
world and commercial diving entities. The Air Buddy gives you 20% more breathing
time on a bottle of air than any other alternate air source.
The Air Buddy is a miniature regulator second stage from which all the
complicated and delicate parts have been removed, leaving only one moving part,
the tilt valve. In a normal second stage, inhaling causes the diaphragm to move
inward, pressing a lever which opens the needle valve allowing air from the low
pressure hose to flow into your mouth. We replaced the needle valve with a heavy
duty tilt valve in the Air Buddy. To open the tilt valve in the Air Buddy, you
simply squeeze the mouthpiece with a biting movement of your mouth.
That releases the air from the low pressure hose, giving you PPAS. Positive
Pressure Air Source means that your mouth will be flooded with air at a higher
pressure than that of the water around you, no matter what your depth may be,
forcing the water out of your mouth and allowing you to breathe. You stop the
air by relaxing your pressure on the mouthpiece.
