The Blizzard has been a standard for divers in cold waters for the last 30
years. It has been the “go to” regulator for many Public Safety Dive Teams
around the country because of its reliability in the colder waters and for its
ease of service. In the summer of 2016 we introduce the new Blizzard Pro. The
new unit has proven to be as reliable in all environments. With a completely new
Valve Design, the new Blizzard Pro comes with improved breathing performance and
enhanced cosmetics.
BLIZZARD PRO 1ST STAGE
•
Balanced flow by piston delivers ample air
volume at stable intermediate pressure to the second stage
over a wide range of supply pressures.
•
Spring chamber is environmentally sealed
to maintain cleanliness reducing the effects of corrosion and
contamination.
This contributes to uniform high performance as
the regulator is used.
•
Dry-sealed first stage uses no liquids or gels
that can leak or add to service costs.
•
Tee-shaped design reduces regulator profile
when mounted on tank.
• Four LP ports and two HP ports for more options for ideal hose positioning.
•
Nitrox compatible up to 40%
BLIZZARD PRO 2ND STAGE
• Single Valve Tube Construction provides a
precise channel for the poppet to travel
• Reverse demand lever moves the pivot point
from the hose fitting to the venturi adjustment side reduces
freezing opportunity
• Injection molded thermoplastic rubber seat
is harder than silicone seats and maintains its shape and does
not coin as deeply
• Large co-molded mouthpiece uses two
different silicones color tabs reduces jaw fatigue
• Diver operated flow control switch
• Free Parts for Life (Restrictions Apply)
Three inches of ice on the lake at Sandy Channel water temp of 36 degrees
under the ice at a max depth of 21 feet. I did a total of 5 dives, ranging from
14 minutes to 26 minutes. I did everything that you’re not supposed to do just
to try to make the new Blizzard freeflow. And it wouldn’t. I breathed it on the
surface. I exhaled before inhaling at the surface. I got it full of water, then
laid it on the ice while waiting for my students and then tried to breath it. I
tried to overbreath it under water, and it held fine. It never did freeflow.
Looks like a winner! BRIAN SHREVE | OWNER, HEARTLAND SCUBA CENTER
