The Atomic Aquatics M1
Extreme Performance without compromise.
Atomic M1 Second Stage and Atomic Z2 First Stage
The Atomic Aquatics Second Stages are loaded with patented innovative features, exclusive only to Atomic Aquatics. The Automatic Flow Control ("AFC") is just one. High performance regulators are often unstable, prone to leaks and free flows. That's why manufacturers add knobs and switches to stabilize them. We do it automatically. The AFC is the first and only depth activated venturi control that automatically balances performance and stability. A computer designed airfoil inside the mouthpiece changes position with response to depth to maintain consistent, natural, and effortless breathing at all depths. No dials to turn or buttons to push, the regulator "tunes itself as you dive".
Another patented innovation is the Seat Saver Orifice. The Achilles Heel of all second stages is a small rubber valve seat on the poppet. In standard designs, this seat is pushed tight against a sharp edged orifice from the day it leaves the factory, eventually making a deep impression in the seat resulting in poor performance and annoying leaks. That's why sometimes your regulator is fine when you put it away and it leaks the next time you use it. Our orifice only contacts the seat when pressurized. When not in use, the orifice automatically retracts away from the seat just enough to prevent damage during storage. This dramatically increases service life and maintains "like new" performance.

XS Scuba SPG Module
There are a variety of submersible pressure gauges on the market, many of them of considerable quality, but lacking in simplicity. Many of these gauges are not suitable for technical or extended-range diving. This XS Scuba SPG module is perfect for those technical applications. The XS Scuba SPG module offers a simple, unobstructed dial face for easy reading. Graduated on 100 pound increments, this all brass and glass gauge offers 0-5000 PSI capability and is the perfect solution when you want high quality in a simple gauge. This unit is completely oxygen clean and comes to you with a brass spindle and viton o-rings.
Large Face is 2.5" across the face.

Suunto Gekko Dive Computer
Suunto Gekko can be used with both air and nitrox, and it is designed to give the specifics of any diving situation, including decompression, at a glance.
Suunto Gekko uses the Suunto Reduced Gradient Bubble Model (RGBM) decompression model and has a user-replaceable battery and adjustable metric/imperial units.
Suunto Gekko is equipped with a super bright phosphorescent display that can be charged with a dive torch. This ensures that you can easily view the display in dark conditions for extensive periods of time. You can wear Suunto Gekko as a wrist unit, or mount it on Suunto's Combo consoles.
Easy-to-use push buttons and a straightforward menu structure make Suunto Gekko simple to operate. The extensive logbook memory stores up to 50 hours of dive profiles and logbook data, including the dive start time and date, dive time, the maximum depth attained and the temperature at maximum depth. Additionally, the dive history keeps track of up to 999 dives and 999 dive hours, as well as the maximum depth ever reached.
Both ascent rate and available no-decompression time are displayed graphically with clear color-coded indicators. Visual and audible alarms are given when necessary. You can also enable maximum depth and dive time alarms.
Whether diving in familiar waters or exploring unknown oceans, safety is essential. Suunto Gekko is packed with solutions enabling safe and responsible decisions underwater. The depth, time and decompression measurement assure that you know precisely how long you have spend in the depths, how deep you are, when you have to surface and how fast you can do it. This way you can maximize the diving performance without jeopardizing your safety.
The extensive memory functions enable you to keep track of your past dives and through them you can monitor your progress and plan your training accordingly.

Miflex Xtreme Diving Hoses
The XTREME high performance range of diving hoses has been developed in cooperation with expert divers for a superior in depth performance.
Innovative Safety Technology
A team of MIFLEX engineers analysed the weak points of traditional low-pressure diving hoses. The fruit of their research is the XTREME high performance range.
XTREME hoses feature an external nylon safety braiding designed to resist the snags and abrasions that divers can often encounter. The patent Pending XTREME double braiding also resists UV rays out of the water, thus extending the lifespan of the hose.
Unlike traditional hoses, the XTREME nylon safety braiding is not simply pushed over the hose fittings. Instead the braiding is tightly bound and fixed to the hose core by stainless steel or brass sleeves.
The result? Performance and durability in extreme situations.
You could tie an Xtreme hose in a knot and the air flow through the hose would remain continuous. Now thats versatility!
XTREME hose production is carried out on automated assembly and testing line. Each and every XTREME hose is subject to more than 30 individual safety and specification checks. Any hose found not to meet the exacting MIFLEX standard is immediately scrapped.
An XTREME Performer
* An average lifespan 3x longer than traditional hoses.
* Excellent resistance to abrasion
* Kink-resistant design tie an XTREME hose into a knot and air flow remains continuous.
* Light and extremely flexible
* A burst pressure more than twice that of traditional hoses.
* Available in three colours: blue, black and glow-in-the-dark yellow.
* 30 individual safety tests per hose. ? Premium packaging doubles as a water resistant document wallet.
* Approved and certified to EN250.
* Patent pending on unique double braided manufacturing technique.

FAST. Durable. Maneuverable. And the spring straps make them super easy to put on and take off. What more can you ask of fins?
Features & Benefits
Adding synthetic material is a quick annd inexpensive method for stiffening a fin. The XT is produced in 100% rubber. Tests have proven that rubber will outperform any synthetic option.
Increasing the durometer to 75ฐ rather than changing base material creates a stiffer blade that retains a high degree of the comfort and performance of the original bio-fin pro.
Higher durometer rubber provides the feel and weight of a more traditional fin
Works as well or better than paddle fins with any choice of kicking style
Split fin design allows for increased maximum speed and reduced fatigue
Consistently rated as the fastest fin in the water
Instant turning and pivoting on a dime
Increased control and added leverage for technical divers
Reduced air consumption
Increased bottom time
Color: metallic black
C-series Fins come with the added feature of a factory installed Stainless Steel Spring strap. The spring strap automatically adjusts as needed, will not break as easily as rubber, and is quicker to take on and off. Very useful when getting on and off a boat. The strap includes a heavy rubber bumper that acts as a comfort cushion against the heel and provides an oversized finger loop for sliding the strap on and off.
This award-winning product is the most comfortable weight belt ever developed. It is fully adjustable and designed for a custom fit on every diver. Each belt has two independent sleeves with pockets that are sewn together. Thus, a six pocket belt has two sleeves built from three pockets. (Mine is in black, not the blue pictured, and plastic buckle has been replaced with a Dive-Rite stainless steel buckle)
