PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

• The AQUATEC AIR-3, featuring a unique combination of regulator and inflator design, ensures the Air-3 is always within easy reach during dives. This integration allows for seamless control of descents, buoyancy adjustments, and air venting during ascents. The power inflate and deflate buttons, strategically positioned atop the housing, are differentiated by color and touch, enhancing safety on both the ascent and descent phases.
• An innovative dive/pre-dive switch enables users to detune the unit when not in use, effectively preventing free flow at the surface. The strategically designed flexible purge cover, distinguished by its large size and easy-to-locate placement, facilitates quick clearing when taking a breath.
• In addition to its innovative features, the AQUATEC AIR-3 comes with impressive specifications:
• Three-in-one backup second-stage regulator.
• Includes: Regulator, inflator valve, dual-function surface, and underwater horn.
• The AQUATEC AIR-300, a versatile three-in-one device, incorporates a backup second-stage regulator, an inflator valve, and a dual-function surface and underwater horn. Its compact size and lightweight design contribute to reducing the diver's equipment load, accompanied by an AIR-300-specific low-pressure hose for added convenience.
• The dual-function horn serves both underwater and surface purposes, generating a sound level of 110-120 decibels audible up to 1 kilometer away.
• In summary, the AQUATEC AIR-3 distinguishes itself with its innovative combination design, user-friendly controls, and versatile features, making it an ideal choice for divers seeking convenience, safety, and functionality in their equipment.

🙂 DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT?

• A backup regulator is a diver’s ultimate line of safety.
• The AIR-3 integrates a regulator, inflator, and horn into one compact device, ensuring streamlined equipment and intuitive operation.
• Reduces additional gear and weight, lightening the diver’s load.
• Dual-function horn enhances safety with strong signaling capability both underwater and on the surface.

🙂Is installing the AIR-300 complicated? Can I install it myself?➜ The AIR-300 is designed for easy installation, typically requiring only the disconnection of your existing BCD inflator hose from its original inflator valve, then connecting it to the AIR-300, and finally attaching the AIR-300 to your BCD. The process is relatively straightforward, and many divers can complete it themselves. However, if you are unfamiliar with gear assembly, it's recommended to have a professional technician at a dive center assist with installation and inspection.

• Its core utility lies in significantly enhancing diver safety protocols by providing a consolidated emergency air source and signaling device, alongside optimizing equipment ergonomics for reduced bulk and intuitive operation.

Our 3-in-1 Design seamlessly combines [Regulator], [Inflator], and [Horn]. Less gear, more dive.

🙂Will it feel heavy underwater or affect my weighting?➜The AIR-300 is designed to be lightweight and compact, so its own weight will have a negligible impact on your weighting underwater. Its small size also means it typically won't significantly alter your streamlining or underwater balance. Divers generally consider it an integrated part of the BCD, and its effect on overall weighting can be disregarded.

The AQUATEC AIR-300 is ideally suited for any scuba diver prioritizing safety and equipment efficiency, particularly those aiming to minimize gear complexity and weight while ensuring robust emergency communication capabilities.

🙂Is my existing BCD and regulator system compatible with the AIR-300?➜The AIR-300 is designed to connect to standard low-pressure inflator hoses. Most modern BCDs use a standard-sized inflator hose connection. However, to ensure optimal compatibility, it's recommended to check your BCD's inflator valve interface type or consult with your dive center before purchasing

🙂 How does the AIR-300's breathing performance compare to a traditional independent alternate air source? Is it sufficient in an emergency?

➜The AIR-300 provides sufficient breathing performance as an alternate air source, delivering safe and adequate air in emergency situations. Its design meets diving safety standards to ensure a reliable airflow under pressure. While it might not offer the extreme comfort of a high-performance primary regulator, its performance as an alternate is fully adequate for a diver to safely ascend or resolve an issue.

🙂 Is the AIR-300 easy to maintain? Does it require special servicing?

➜ Routine maintenance for the AIR-300 is similar to other dive gear: a thorough rinse with fresh water after each dive. Annual professional servicing is essential to ensure its optimal performance and the condition of internal components. As it integrates a second-stage regulator, inspection and maintenance by a qualified dive technician are recommended.formance as an alternate is fully adequate for a diver to safely ascend or resolve an issue.

🙂If the AIR-300 malfunctions, will my BCD buoyancy control be affected?

➜Yes, because the AIR-300 is responsible for both the inflation and deflation functions of your BCD. If it malfunctions (e.g., gets stuck in an inflate or deflate state), it could affect your buoyancy control. This is why regular inspection and professional maintenance are crucial. Divers should also be proficient in using manual dump valves (such as shoulder or lower dump valves on the BCD) as an alternative buoyancy control method.

🙂 Is this product suitable for rental purposes? Can its durability withstand frequent use?

➜The AIR-300, with its robust construction, is designed to withstand the rigors of daily diving environments. For dive centers, it can be a reliable rental option, but like all rental equipment, it requires frequent inspection and regular maintenance to ensure its long-term performance and safety. Its simplified design also helps reduce the risk of damage due to unfamiliar operation.

🙂 In strong current environments, is it prone to accidental activation or creating unnecessary drag?

➜The AIR-300 is compactly designed and well-streamlined, typically not creating significant unnecessary drag in currents. Its button design also considers accidental activation, usually requiring a certain amount of force to operate. Therefore, in strong current environments, the risk of accidental activation is low, and its impact on diver control is minimal.

The AQUATEC AIR-300 is a multi-functional integrated diving system that ingeniously merges a backup second-stage regulator, a power inflator, and an audible signal horn into one compact unit.
