DESCRIPTION

Whats in the box:1st Stage and 2nd Stage with LP Hose

The Alpha 8 second stage and the PX3 first stage offer excellent performance and a low price. In addition, it's economical to maintain because replacement parts are so inexpensive. The Alpha 8/PX3 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 composite 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 material and anatomically designed mouthpiece translate into a second stage that won't cause jaw strain.

FIRST STAGE
The 29 ounce PX3 first stage is machined of marine brass and chrome coated. It features DVT (Dry Valve Technology), an innovative design that keeps moisture and 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. The low pressure ports there are five are on a swivel, allowing for custom positioning of the hoses for power inflators, the Alpha 8 second stage, an octopus regulator and any other accessory you desire A rubber sleeve protects the high pressure ports from bumps and dings.

    Comments about Oceanic Alpha 8 PX3 DVT Piston Regulator, Blue:

    Inexpensive and does the job effectively.
    Breaths easy at depths up to 100' after that increased effort is required.
    Breaths easy upsidedown and in odd positions.
    Breaths easy in heavy current.
    Mouthpiece could be softer for more comfort.

    Great for most divers - extreme divers should look elswhere.

          Comments about Oceanic Alpha 8 PX3 DVT Piston Regulator, Blue:

          I bought this reg for my son for his very first openwater dives down in the Sea of Cortez. We just returned and I am happy to report that this reg performed flawlessly! I have the Delta 4 reg and switched out with him on a dive and I couldn't tell much difference in this one and mine with the exception of the adjustability of the Delta 4. If you're looking for an easy breathing, top notch reg setup at a great price, this is the setup for you!
          I'm going to pick up another for my wife!
