User Adjustment Knob (Fig. 2) Venturi Adjustment Switch (V.A.S.) (Fig. 3) The patented bridge on this mouthpiece fits lightly across the roof of the mouth eliminating the need to clench yourteeth.This results in less jaw fatigue and makes diving much more comfortable.

Aqua Lung, the name itself is associatedwith the creation of scuba diving.And like every great innovator,we recognize that progress is made through continuous evolution. Each new Aqua Lung regulator builds on the inherent qualities of its predecessor while implementing the latest advances in design and materials.The Legend series of regulators are theculmination of Aqua Lung’s regulator design and manufacturing expertise.When Aqua Lung started thedevelopment plans for what would eventually become the Legend regulatorseries,we set out to make the bestbreathing regulator we had ever produced.We committed all of thecompany’s resources and expertise tomeet this goal and succeeded. Simply stated, the Legend series are some ofthe best performing regulators everintroduced to the diving community.

This knob allows you to tune the regulator for your personal needs. For example, when the regulator is out ofthe mouth such as on a surface swim, the knob can be turned in to decrease sensitivity.When diving to greater depths, the knob can be turned out all the way to compensate for the fact that the air is more dense. Air circulating in the second stage creates a strong venturi effect that assists you during the inhalation process.Theaddition of an external venturi adjustment switch allows our engineers to maximize the strength of the venturi for ease of breathing, while allowing you to control it to prevent air from escaping when the unit is out of your mouth, such as on a surface swim.

FIRST STAGE second stage

In an unbalanced second stage the valve which controls the flow of air works against a spring. In order to open thevalve, the diver’s inhalation force needs to counteract the spring force. In a balanced second stage the intermediate pressure coming from the first stage is used to counterbalance the spring force, substantially reducing the amount of effort required to open the valve.This results in a second stage that is much more responsive to inhalation effort and breathes very smoothly, especially at depth. Auto Closure Device (ACD) Balanced Second Stage (Fig.1) This system automatically protects your first stage from the environment as soon as it has been disconnected from the cylinder valve. If it is stored without its dust cap the inside of the first stage is protected against corrosion and foreign bodies. However, use of the dust cap is recommended to prevent damage due to impacts.- ACD affords the greatest protection against water entry- ACD affords the greatest protection against contamination ACD is an improved safety measure. It is available in DIN 300B and Yoke 232B versions throughout the LEGEND range. Diaphragm First Stage Over-Balanced Diaphragm First Stage DIN Fitting Diaphragm mechanisms are time-proven, high- performance designs. By the nature of their design, allmoving parts are protected from the environment.The small components reduce internal friction to allow optimal performance. These first stages perform consistently throughout the dive regardless of depth or cylinder pressure. As you descend with an over-balanced first stage, the medium pressure in the hose actually increases at afaster rate than the traditional balanced models. This increased medium pressure compensates for the increased density of your breathing gas at deeper depths.The result is superior breathing regardless of depth. This fitting is available for all our models.The regulator can be used with 200 bar or 300 bar valves.The 300 bar connections are available on Legend. Air Turbo System The Air Turbo System is a passageway between the port area and the diaphragm chamber. It allows themain diaphragm in the first stage to immediately sense a pressure drop due to inhalation and react faster causing the first stage valve to open sooner.The result is a very responsive regulator that can keep up with the most rigorous demands.
