The Scubapro AIR2 5th Generation Inflator/Deflator is a versatile device that combines a backup regulator with a buoyancy control system in one compact unit. This innovative design streamlines diving equipment by eliminating the need for a separate octopus regulator, ensuring that the AIR2 is always within easy reach for both breathing and buoyancy adjustments.
- Enhanced Breathing Performance: The AIR2 delivers air as smoothly as most primary second stages, with a work of breathing (WOB) of 1.34 J/L, significantly improved from its predecessor's 3.55 J/L.
- Dive/Pre-Dive Switch: A new switch allows divers to detune the unit when not in use, preventing free flows and conserving air.
- Flexible Purge Cover: The large, flexible purge cover is easy to locate and depress, facilitating quick clearing even when wearing thick gloves.
- Ergonomic Controls: Power inflate and deflate buttons are positioned on top of the housing for easy buoyancy control. The power inflate button features a lighter lever for easy inflation, and both buttons can be differentiated by color and touch due to their different shapes and sizes, improving ascent control and safety.
- Large Bite Tabs: The mouthpiece includes large bite tabs to ensure a secure grip in high-stress situations.
- CE Certification: The AIR2 is CE certified EN250A for warm water test controls above 10°C (50°F) as a second stage regulator.
