Diver adjustable inhalation effort Most
downstream demand valve regulators are calibrated during manufacturing
to a single, 'middle of the road' operation. Whether finning up current
at 100+ feet or merely snorkeling out to the dive site, this factory
adjustment may not be optimum for the wide variety of demands we place
on our equipment. A simple twist of the GT 3's adjustment knob enables
complete control...set the inhalation requirement to near zero when you
need ultimate performance, or tune it for greater resistance as conditions or preferences change.
Patented Dynamic Adjustment A
common objection to adjustable second stages is that divers can't
imagine themselves twisting and turning a knob as they descend and
ascend through the depths. If inhalation resistance is set near zero at
depth, your ascent would require you to manually increase resistance as
ambient water pressure is reduced to prevent free-flow. Taking another
stride beyond common second stage engineering, Oceanic designed a
patented DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENT feature into the heart of the GT 3. This mechanically balanced valve maintains a preferred breathing resistance throughout the dive. Set it once and the GT 3 automatically adjusts to make breathing as easy at 100 feet as it is at 30 feet - with no additional manual adjustment.
Computer optimized design Oceanic
regulators are exclusively designed using the latest 3-D computer
modeling techniques. This allows us the ability to model and test
performance while still in the early stages of development. The GT
3's unique deflector vane and housing design diverts airflow from the
valve directly to the mouthpiece, producing smooth venturi-assisted
inhalation.
Lightweight The GT
3's housing is made from an ABS/Polycarbonate composite blend of
materials making the Delta 3 both extremely rugged and lightweight (5.8
ounces) and nearly neutrally buoyant underwater, reducing jaw fatigue
on extended dives.
Patented orthodontic mouthpiece To further reduce jaw fatigue, the GT 3 features a patented Orthodontic Mouthpiece, designed to accommodate the natural overbite of the human jaw.
Nitrox Compatibility The GT
3 is classified as being suitable for use with nitrox breathing gas
mixtures containing up to 40% oxygen by volume without the need for
special preparation, cleaning or component parts.
CDX-5 Compact Balanced Diaphragm First Stage The
CDX-5 Balanced Diaphragm First Stage is the perfect regulator for
extreme diving conditions, such as ice diving or diving in high
sediment. The balanced diaphragm first stage design has been the
regulator of choice for many divers who find themselves pushing the
envelope. The advanced design of the CDX-5 isolates the critical seats
and o-rings from the harsh environment. This helps prevent internal
corrosion and contaminant buildup, leading to more consistent
performance between service intervals.
