Technologies

Ultralight Technopolymer: Abrasion resistant and affordable, ideal for diving in warm and moderate water temperatures.

VAD-Vortex Assisted Design: The air bypass tube conveys air to the mouthpiece creating a swirling vortex with a low-pressure area in the center that keeps the diaphragm down during inhalation, for very sensitive and easy breathing at all depths.

Superflex Hose: Extreme light weight and exceptional softness guarantee the maximum freedom of movement.
