Simply the best.
The lightest and most
compact "all metal"
regulator, it is also
ideal for diving in very
cold water. The
oversized purge button
is extremely easy to use,
even while wearing thick
neoprene gloves. The V32
first stage guarantees
exceptional performance
and optimum placement of
the hoses, all at an
especially light weight.
The Proton Ice has been
tested by the Notified
Body INPP of Marseilles
with binary (Heliox) and
ternary (Trimix)
mixtures to a depth of
100 m. The results are
compliant with the
recommendations of
European Regulation EN
250. Breathing effort
proved to be much lower
than the regulation
requires.
