Poseidon Xstream Deep - Essentials Kit

Description: Xstream Deep Essentials kit includes 1st Stage, 2nd Stage and hose. Upstream 2nd Stage:You were most likely taught in you open water class that a downstream 2nd stage regulator is preferable. The reason being is that (in theory) if your regulator suffered a failure in the 1st stage it would stick open, resulting in a free flow. You would then be able to get to the surface while "sipping" on your free flowing regulator. But what if you need that precious air to get you out of the cave or wreck, or to clear your deco obligation? At the recreational level, how many divers realistically have the level-headedness to suffer a free flow at 100 feet and casually make their way to the surface while their tank drains?The Xstream 2nd stage is an upstream regulator. You may have learned that if upstream regulators fail, they will fail "closed" and cut you off from your air. In theory this is true, but Poseidon has added a safety valve (OPV) onto their first stage. This valve ensures that pressure inside the regulator will stay at a point in which you can breath normally in the event of a failure. To sum it all up, in the unlikely event that your regulator fails, it will not free flow; it will continue to breathe normally while you make your way to the surface and save your precious gas supply along the way. Key Performance Features:Side purge prevents unwanted free flowSide exhaust keeps your vision clear of bubblesAmbidextrous (easy to share and breathe off)EAN 40 ready and compatibleSelf-balancing, delivers gas flawlessly in any conditions with no adjustmentApproved for use under ice down to 29 degrees Fahrenheit (-1.6 degrees Celsius)Technical Features:Use with Air, Nitrox, Trimix and Heliox5 LP and 2 HP portsLow work of breathing, servo assistedXSTREAM IS THE only regulator certified for 200 mUpstream 2nd stage valve (more resistant to free flow and wear and tearOver Pressure Valve, OPV (ensures that in case of regulator overpressure the regulator will not be stuck closed)Thermo Dynamic Antifreeze (no environmental seals or extra fluids)Xstream 1st Stage:In extreme (pun intended) environments, you would be hard pressed to find a better regulator to trust your life with. Just ask the US Navy; in their Antarctic testing this is the ONLY regulator that suffered absolutely no failures. With reliability checked off, what comes next? How about performance? The Xstream 1st stage is self-balancing due to its ruby ball technology, which makes it a dream to breathe from.¬† How about versatility?¬† You can pair this 1st stage with an Xstream, Jetstream or Cyklon 2nd stage as well as with the Poseidon Atmosphere full-face mask. With a flow rate of nearly 2200 liters per minute, this regulator can deliver more air than most on the market. If the US Navy describes it as "flawless" in the Antarctic, imagine how well it will perform as you are gliding over the reef.Upstream 2nd Stage:You were most likely taught in you open water class that a downstream 2nd stage regulator is preferable.
