First Stage

The XS2 features a versatile first stage that is a small, lightweight, dependable high flow piston design.

The 2002 XS2 features an easy access side entry port for adjusting of the 2nd stage. Additionally featured is a Dive/Pre-dive switch allowing for the fine-tuning of the regulator during use.

Can't say anything bad about this regulator; everything seems to be designed and function perfectly. The ability to make adjustments is great especially when diving at depth. Also, the second stage is very easy to purge.

For the money it works just as well as more

flawlessly. Just bought one for my wife.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub XS2/AC2 Piston Regulator:

Have 40 dives on it, mostly boat diving where I usually come in with 1000-1200psi left. But last week's trip 5 shore dives I noticed the reg during it's last 1000-500psi made me suck real hard to get the air out of it. My other shore dive exits were fine if I had 1000psi+ left so I never noticed this before.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub XS2/AC2 Piston Regulator:

I bought this reg for my 11 year old daughter. She used it for her pool and open water dives and it worked just great. She was very comfortable with it and its profile worked well for her small mouth (although I did change the mouthpiece to a smaller one).

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub XS2/AC2 Piston Regulator:

My son and I both have an XS-2 regulator set. I have about 80+ dives on mine and it has never failed me yet. It breathes easy and is lightweight and comfortable. It may not have as many bells & whistles as some other regulators but it you want your own regulator and can't afford to spend a ton of money, this is a good regulator for you. I highly recommend it.

It is easy to maintain and can be serviced at most reputable dive shops. I have used it in tropical climates (Bahamas, Jamaica, Hawaii) and cold water dives in So. California (55 degrees) without any issues.
