## Description

Cressi Intense Use Scuba Diving Regulator | Piston 1st Stage, Compact 2nd Stage | AC2/Compact: Made in Italy

## Features

- Ideal scuba diving regulator for beginners and travelers at an affordable price. Piston 1st stage plus a compact single-hull second stage. 1 HP and 4 LP ports. Weight: 923 g - 32.6 oz. Made in Italy.
- A heavy-duty piston 1st stage, affordable, simple, reliable and robust, suitable for intense use. Appreciated by Dive Centers and specialized companies who consider it to be a very reliable device, due to the surprising level of performance.
- Conical filter with large filtering capacity, essential for preventing infiltration of particles from the tanks. Exterior LP regulation with a common hexagonal key, greatly facilitates managing adjustments and technical maintenance.
- Asymmetrical frontal 2nd stage cover drilling. The water flow pushes the diaphragm anti-clockwise direction to create its retraction in a flat position and to make the lever decrease gradually in precise perpendicularity, regardless of condition.
- The specific calibration of the inhalation mechanism slightly changes the personality of the air outlet by rewarding an abundant flow without the need to exploit the Venturi effect, beyond the exquisite touch and sensitivity of this type of regulator
- The AC2/Compact regulator is designed and manufactured in Italy by Cressi, an Italian brand pioneer in scuba diving, snorkeling and swimming equipment since 1946. The product is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.
