Description of ๐Ÿคฟ Cressi Intense Use Scuba Diving Regulator - Made in Italy: Piston 1st Stage and Compact 2nd Stage AC2/Compact

Ideal scuba diving regulator for beginners and travelers at an affordable price. Piston 1st stage plus a compact single-hull second stage. 1 HP and 4 LP ports. Weight: 923 g - 32.6 oz. Made in Italy. A heavy-duty piston 1st stage, affordable, simple, reliable and robust, suitable for intense use. Appreciated by Dive Centers and specialized companies who consider it to be a very reliable device, due to the surprising level of performance. Conical filter with large filtering capacity, essential for preventing infiltration of particles from the tanks. Exterior LP regulation with a common hexagonal key, greatly facilitates managing adjustments and technical maintenance. Asymmetrical frontal 2nd stage cover drilling. The water flow pushes the diaphragm anti-clockwise direction to create its retraction in a flat position and to make the lever decrease gradually in precise perpendicularity, regardless of condition. The specific calibration of the inhalation mechanism slightly changes the personality of the air outlet by rewarding an abundant flow without the need to exploit the Venturi effect, beyond the exquisite touch and sensitivity of this type of regulator. The AC2/Compact regulator is designed and manufactured in Italy by Cressi, an Italian brand pioneer in scuba diving, snorkeling and swimming equipment since 1946. The product is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.

Good reliable Reg for Water Sports

Good value for money. Sometimes free flow when entering the water but turning it upside down will stop it. A slight slowing of breathing when completely upside down (e.g. turned upside down to look under the reef). All in all I would buy again.

Great regulator, hose a little short for my gear

Three dives during Florida lobster season. Great reg.! The only problem was that the hose seemed short. I often had to bite down on the mouthpiece to keep it from falling out of my mouth. Otherwise a decent product, especially at this price!

Pros
  • Sports & Outdoors
Cons
  • Modern

I've used this on 15 dives now I take them to 100ft and it's amazing. Super light and no jaw pain after prolonged use. Did a night dive for 75 minutes and no problems. It's really easy to breathe and it was 3 times cheaper than my dive buddies, the Aqualung regulars! Would buy again. I use this in Guam with an average water temperature of around 86F.

Pros
  • Sport
Cons
  • Not sure

Review of my particular regulator

Cressi is a good company with good products, I think I had a bad register. I'm doing my fourth dive in Bonaire with a new regulator to 70ft and experiencing uncontrollable free flow. I switched to octopus, climbed 15 feet but still couldn't stop the free flow. I ran out of air during a safety stop and had to use my octo buddies to resurface. Unacceptable. I never leave negative feedback, but if there is a possibility of death, I am committed to it. Now I use a rental controller, great. Andโ€ฆ

  • regulator
