Piston first-stage with four mp and two hp ports. Plastic second-stage with venturi +/- and BRA.
An old-fashioned-looking tall turret first-stage with the mp ports arranged in pairs too close together for hoses with protectors. We thought e quality of the machining of the ports to be suspect. The second-stage looked rather flimsy, with a tiny purge button.
At depth:
George: "A poor mouthpiece proved difficult to get a good grip on. The BRA knob worked, but could cause a free-flow rather easily - and that's the last thing you want to fiddle about with at depth."
Sarah: "It was an OK breather but with a sloppy mouthpiece. The purge button seemed less than ideal for beginners."
Steffi: "It breathed well. On panicky breathing patterns and face up it performed well. The mouthpiece was a complete waste of time. It was not comfortable at all."
Steve: "I continually had to adjust it according to my depth on descent to avoid it free-flowing. It was an OK breathe but it did rasp a bit."
Upside-down: Wet - but just OK.
In a fast current: Good.
What the machine found:
This regulator failed to give an adequate performance anywhere near 50m.
Work of breathing at 39m: 2.39 joules/litre.
Guide price: £221
