Oceanic's Alpha 8 second stage and SP5 first stage produce a low priced, no frills regulator system that offers easy breathing. This regulator is so rugged and economical to maintain (replacement parts are inexpensive) that it's become popular as a rental.
It can be used with air or nitrox mixtures up to 40 percent right out of the box.
SECOND STAGE
The Alpha 8's super sturdy ABS/Polycarbonate housing weighs just six ounces and measures just more than two and three-quarter inches in diameter. Even the ring that holds the cover in place is feather light, it's made of anodized aircraft aluminum. The lightweight and anatomically designed mouthpiece translate into a second stage that won't cause jaw strain.
FIRST STAGE
At 26 ounces, the SP5 is one of Oceanic's lightest first stages and features an unbalanced piston designamd is machined from marine brass and chrome plated.
It features DVT (Dry Valve Technology), an innovative design that keeps moistureand contaminants out of the first stage, even if you forget to put the dust cap on. This means internal components remain corrosion and bacteria free. It also means the CDX5 is excellent for ice diving (it won't freeze up) or diving in waters filled with contaminants or sediment (it won't corrode).
The DVT system helps keep air flow to the diver unrestricted. It starts to work as soon as the dive is over, before the regulator is even removed from the tank. It features a balanced piston, designed to deliver a constant supply of air no matter how deep you dive, how hard you work or how little breathing gas remains in your tank. Since the piston is the only moving part in the first stage, internal wear is minimized and performance is maximized. It offers one high pressure port and four low pressur ports.
