The AERIS A2 regulator is a fantastic regulator at a fantastic price. The first stage is a very user-friendly system, its two HP ports and four LP ports allow you to configure your hoses in a manner that fits your gear and personal preferences. The A2 system is very low-profile and lightweight, two features that reduce your drag and increase your comfort while underwater. The first and second stages are incredibly durable and are easy to service during routine maintenance. The first stage is manufactured from marine grade chrome plated brass and utilizes a flow-by piston design. An optional patented design that puts an end to flooded regulators without sacrificing performance! DVT is a revolutionary regulator technology designed to automatically prevent moisture and contaminants from entering your first stage, even if the dust cap is left off.
DVT (Dry Valve Technology) is one of the most significant innovations in regulator technology in recent history. DVT is a fully automatic valve that protects your first stage regulator's internal components against the harsh water environment in which we work and play; with no impact on the regulator's first-class performance.
DVT provides an "automatic extra layer of protection" from environmental contamination such as dirt, dust, sand, spray, dripping and pooled water, or even a "flash flood" in a rinse tank. DVT improves performance and reduces service costs associated with corrosion of critical internal components, bacteria, hose deterioration, and damaged gauges and computers.
AERIS regulators are exclusively designed using the latest 3-D computer modelingtechniques. This allows us the ability to model and test performance while stillin the early stages of development. The A2's second stage unique deflector vane and housing design diverts airflow from the valve directly to the mouthpiece, producing smooth venturi-assisted inhalation.
The A2's housing is made from an ABS/Polycarbonate composite blend of materials making the A2 both extremely rugged and lightweight (5.4 ounces) and nearly neutrally buoyant underwater, reducing jaw fatigue on extended dives. The extremely lightweight cover ring is machined from a solid piece of aircraft aluminum, and then hard anodized, utilizing a unique process to prevent corrosion.
To further reduce jaw fatigue, the A1 features a patented Orthodontic Mouthpiece, designed to accommodate the natural overbite of the human jaw.
The A1 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.

Comments about Aeris Aeris A2 Regulator:
Bought this as my first reg and it came in a set. I have to say for the price its a pretty easy breathing reg. You do notice it getting a little tougher down around 100ft or so but for the money its what you would expect. Didn't find it to be to hard on jaw fatigue as i've used it for about a dozen dives now. I've used it in colder water (53 degrees) and it worked well. All in all a great reg for the money.

Comments about Aeris Aeris A2 Regulator:
I really like this reg. Its easy breathing. The two issues I have with it though is that I got extreme jaw fatigue, and the air hose seems kind of short for me. I wasnt able to turn my head all the way to the left without resistance. I think that the major cause of the jaw fatigue is that it was my first time diving with this reg and there was MAJOR current that we were fighting on that day.
