CE cert for cold water

CE cert for cold water

Regsets with a CE cold water certificate have been tested in waters below 10 degrees. When diving in NL/BE this comes in handy. In summer, the water on the surface may be warmer than 10 degrees, however, when decending to greater depths, you’ll hit various thermoclines in which the water temperature may be less than 10 degrees.

Lumen

Lumen

Light is expressed in Lumen. The higher the Lumen, the brighter the light

1st stage connection

1st stage connection

The INT ( yoke) connection uses a clamp type to mount the regulator over the cylinder valve and is tightened into place by screwing the cap. This pushes the first stage into the sealing o-ring of the cylinder valve. With the DIN fitting the male part is screwed into the valve to securely capture the o-ring. We recommend the DIN connection, since this is a safer connection. This connection is mostly used for 300bar cylinders. However, the DIN300 bar connection also works with a 200bar tank valve

The PC-interface lets you transfer the data from your dive computer to your PC or laptop. This way you can create and update a digital logbook. The software can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.

Lift capacity

Lift capacity

The lift capacity of the bladder is usually indicated in pounds -LBS. One pound is approximately 0.45KG

Run time

Run time

The run time is the amount of minutes at maximum strength. After the run time, the torch will shine for another couple of hours, however at a lower light capacity. The run time was measured at room temperature. Diving in colder water may decrease the run time.

1st stage HP port

1st stage HP port

A second high pressure port on a 1st stage is necesarry if you are contemplating to dive with a computer that is air integrated. The transmitter will be attached to the second high pressure port so that you will always have backup analogue SPG.

• 1 HP port (2)
• 2 HP ports (10)

Suitable for

Single sets are suitable for diving with 1 tank. With a double tank set-up you dive with 2 tanks which are either attached to each other by twinning-bands or 2 separate tanks, for instance when diving side mount.

Hose type

Hose type

Flex hoses are, as the word already describes it, more flexible than rubber hoses. By using these types of hoses the chance of your 2nd stage fitting more comfortable in your mouth, is doubled. The flex hoses are also easier to roll up for transportation and a little lighter than rubber hoses.

• Rubber (5)
• Flex (5)

Air integrated

Air integrated

With an air integrated function on your computer, you can view the cylinder pressure. The pressure is transmitted by the transmitter or by the high pressure hose connected to the dive computer. With some computers it is possible to connect several transmitters to one computer. I.e. when you dive with several different gas blends.

Externably chargeable

Externably chargeable

An externally rechargeable torch does not need to be opened for it to charge. This makes it easier to use and less prone to leakage

• Yes (1)

Memory storage

Battery

Battery

Many dive computers allow you to change the battery yourself. Even though doing it yourself may seem simple, we recommend that you have the battery changed at your local dealer, whom subsequently will also do a pressure test to make sure your computer is waterproof again. Rechargeable batteries can be charged with the provided cable.

Beam

Beam

A tortch with a narrow beam (spot) has a smaller beam angle, between 7 upto 20 degrees. You will be needing this is darker waters such as here in NL/BE. A torch with a broader beam (flood or wide) will illuminate a larger area. This type of beam is mostly used for photography and videography to make sure the light is evenly dispersed. A torch with an adjustable beam can be adjusted during a dive

• Narrow (1)
• Wide (1)

1st stage ACD

1st stage ACD

Several regset manufactured by Aqualung have the ACD system. This system makes sure that water will not get in to the 1st stage after diving or even if you have forgotten to put on your dust cap when you rinse your materials.

• No ACD (1)
• With ACD (1)

Hood

• With loose hood (1)

1st stage air supply

1st stage air supply

When you dive with an unbalanced 1st stage, breathing may become a little harder as your cylinder is being depleted of air. A balanced 1st stage will give you an even resistance during your dive, as long as your cylinder contains more than 20 Bar. An overbalanced 1st stage will give you a little more pressure when at depth, which will make breathing at greater depth easier. You will be able to feel the difference from a depth of 20 to 25 meters.

• Balanced (8)

Dimmable

Dimmable

A dimmable torch usually has 2 to 3 settings to dim the light. By dimming the intensity of the light you can extend the run time

• Yes (1)

Dive mode

Dive mode

A bottom timer is a depth guage and timer in one. The freedive mode measures the same as the bottom timer, however it measures in seconds. The air mode is the standard dive mode. The nitrox mode allows you to dive with a higher oxygen %. Trimix is a blend of oxygen, nitrogen and helium. And the rebreather recycles part of the gas that you have used.

1st stage type

1st stage type

A piston 1st stage is easier to service, since there are less parts. However, a piston 1st stage needs to be serviced earlier than other 1st stages, since the water does get inside the 1st stage. A membrane 1st stage may be less maintanace- sensitive, however, you’ll have to be more precise in adjusting it. If you would like to dive in cold(er) waters, we would recommend a 1st stage with a membrane.

• Piston (1)
• Membrane (7)

2nd stage venturi regulator

2nd stage venturi regulator

A venturi switch is a + and – switch on the 2nd stages that regulates airflow. When the switch is switched to the -, the 2nd stage will not free flow when entering the water. When it is switched to the +, breathing is easiest.

• Yes (10)
• No (1)

Switch gasses

Switch gasses

The gas switch feature allows you switch gas blends during a dive. I.e. when you are diving with Nitrox 32% and would like to do a safety stop with Nitrox 50%.

2nd stage breathing resistance

2nd stage breathing resistance

With an adjustable breathing resistance switch on the 2nd stage you will be able to adjust the flow of air when inhaling. You may experience a free flow with your 2nd stage when doing a drift dive or if there is a strong current. If you would adjust the switch to a higher resistance, then your 2nd stage will not free flow.

• Adjustable (11)
• Fixed (2)

2nd stage air supply

2nd stage air supply

A balanced 2ns stage will make inhaling easier than an unbalanced 2nd stage. If you were to use an overbalanced 1st stage then you’ll always have to use a balanced 2nd stage.

• Unbalanced (2)

EN250A

EN250A

Regulator sets with an EN250A marking have been tested by breathing simultaniously through the primary 2nd stage and the octopus. This will increase the pressure that is put on the 1st stage and these regsets have passed that specific test. These sets can be used with an octopus up to a depth of 30 meters. Below 30 meters a separate air system with an extra 1st stage is advised.

Insolation

Insolation

With a trilaminate drysuit, typically an undersuit of 200 grams or thicker is used. When wearing a neoprene drysuit, undersuits up to 200 grams are recommended, depending on the tickness of the neoprene.
