When you learned to dive, you were taught specific skills to make you safe and
comfortable underwater and at the surface. One of those skills was Buoyancy
Control. Once you start diving for fun you use your BCD constantly thru-out
the dive. Your octopus or alternate air source on the other hand is never used
unless there is an emergency out of air situation. Reacting properly in an out
of air emergency can make the difference between a safe dive and a tragedy. If
your Octopus & BCD Inflator Device are combined, you will always know where to
find it in an emergency.
The SS1 takes the concept to new levels of convenience, reliability &
performance. It contains a high flow 2'nd stage that performs like many high
performances second stages. It will deliver air to a diver at depth with
minimal effort. It is very stable and not prone to unnecessary free-flow or
leakage from water movement while swimming, or during entries or exits. The
inflator/deflator is easy to operate with soft-surfaced buttons placed where
they can be easily operated with one hand.
The SS1 features a quick disconnect not only on the low-pressure hose, but the
BCD hose as well. The adapters that fit the SS1 to the BCD are connected to
the SS1 with a threaded collar that can be easily unscrewed to detach it
completely from the BCD. Now you can carry or store the SS1 with your primary
regulator and gauges (patent pending).
The SS1 combines the functions of the inflator and octopus regulator into a
single unit. This reduces the overall bulk and weight of your dive gear;
eliminates hoses, and places your back up regulator in a fixed, familiar
location. This time proven concept is a convenient and efficient alternative
to the dedicated octopus second stage. Reduce your rig by one hose with the
high- performance Atomic SS1. The high-flow, low-pressure disconnect is
interchangeable with many other models yet smaller size and lighter in weight.
Large oversized and ergonomically shaped buttons are easy to find for
pneumatic or oral inflation and deflation. They are easy to distinguish and
faced with soft tactile rubber surfaces.
The elliptically shaped body of the SS1 lies flat against the BCD keeping it
out-of-the-way and reducing drag. Seat wear is the first cause of regulator
leaks and performance degradation. The stainless steel dynamic orifice is
pressure energized and only- contacts the rubber seat when in use. Equipped
with a titanium lever this high strength metal part is the link to your air
supply and will never fail due to rust or corrosion. The integrated purge
cover is a one-piece flexible cover allows purge of the regulator when
depressed anywhere on the cover surface.
The SS1 has titanium inflation/deflation stem, demand valve body, stainless
steel orifice and springs and a titanium and 316-grade stainless steel quick
disconnect. The mouthpiece and diaphragm are silicone rubber and the SS1 body
is manufactured from fiberglass reinforced nylon. The SS1 is a dependable
downstream demand valve design. The SS1 weighs 6.3 oz. (180 g) without the
hose and the hose also weighs 6.7 oz. (190 g) and measures 28" (71 cm) in
length.
