(standard in T3, T2x, ST1 & M1). This is a rubber sleeve that fits over the ambient chamber ports of the first stage to prevent icing of the first stage.
Large piston for high air flow and stable intermediate pressures. Optional freeze protection kit (Standard on T3, T2x, ST1 & M1): Ambient chamber seal kit reduces the possibility of freezing at low temperatures and seals water and contaminants out of the first stage.

Depth Sensing Diaphragm Atomic Aquatics has developed the first and only automatic flow control that automatically changes the breathing characteristics with depth. At depth, the air density increases (gets thicker) and it becomes harder to move through the regulator.
either overcompensate at the surface or do not provide adequate venturi at depth. The AFC is a small blade (airfoil) inside the mouthpiece that changes position with response to depth to maintain consistent, natural, effortless breathing at all depths. The blade is attached to a depth sensing diaphragm that retracts it to gradually boost the venturi the deeper you go.
CAUTION DO’S AND DON’TS Do set up your equipment carefully before each dive and check your entire system for signs of damage, loose hose fittings, and air leaks. Make sure the yoke knob or DIN connection is hand tight before turning on your air supply. Purge the regulator and take a test breath before entering the water.
Keep away from excessive heat, humidity or insects. REQUIRED SERVICE The major service interval for the Atomic Aquatics regulators is once every 2 years or 300 dives*. We recommend that you take your regulator to an authorized Atomic Aquatics dealer annually for a safety inspection.
