| | | DVT® ^^^^^^^H (DRY VALVE TECHNOLOGY) DVT is a revolutionary regulator technology designed I to automatically eliminate moisture and contaminants from entering your first stage, even if the dust cap is ■ accidentally left off between dives or during rinsing. Regardless of how carefully you maintain your ■■ regulator, water entry is a much more common J problem than most divers realize. Most first stage| regulators are exposed to corrosive water intrusion f either when removed from the cylinder valve between dives or in the rinse tank. ^^^^^^^M When water enters your first stage, critical internal seals break down and precision-machined metaj parts begin to corrode. This inevitably leads to | significant performance degradation and expensive] repairs. DVT eliminates corrosion of critical internal components, bacteria, hose deterioration, and damaged gauges and computers, preventing costly repairs and extending the life and performance of | your most important piece of gear. ^^^H | | |
| | | OVER-BALANCED DIAPHRAGM FIRST STAGE A Balanced Diaphragm First Stage is the perfect J regulator for extreme diving conditions, such ■ as ice diving or diving in high sediment. The | balanced diaphragm first stage design has been the regulator of choice for many divers who find | themselves pushing the envelope. The advanced "over-balanced" design of Oceanic's diaphragm! first stages provides increased air flow to the increased air density and demand at greater depths. In addition, Oceanic's Balanced Diaphragm First I Stages feature a unique dry Enviro Protection Kit J which completely seals all internal components J from the harsh environment. This helps prevent! internal corrosion and contaminant buildup, ^ leading to more consistent performance between service intervals. | | DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENT Most downstream demand valve regulators are! calibrated during manufacturing to a single, | 'middle of the road' operation. Whether finning up current at 100+ feet or merely snorkeling | out to the dive site, this factory adjustment ma™ not be optimum for the wide variety of demands we place on our equipment. Adjustable second | stages provide complete control... set the H inhalation requirement to near zero when yooT^ need ultimate performance, or tune it for greater resistance as conditions or preferences change. I A common objection to adjustable second stages is that divers can't imagine themselves twisting | and turning a knob as they descend and ascend | through the depths. If inhalation resistance is set near zero at depth, your ascent would routinely I require you to manually increase resistance as | ambient water pressure is reduced to prevent freeflow. Oceanic's patented DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENT features a mechanically balanced valve which ■ automatically maintains your preferred breathing resistance throughout the dive. Set it once and | the valve adjusts to make breathing as easy ■ at extreme depth as it is at 30 feet - with no additional manual adjustment. | |
