The new Delta 5 is the next step in a long line of remarkably reliable,
durable and smoothly breathing regulators to carry that name. Sure, Oceanic
gave it an updated look, but that's not all. Like the Delta's before it, the 5
comes standard with Oceanic's patented Dynamic Adjustment Technology,
dive/pre-dive controls and a super comfortable orthodontic mouthpiece. Unlike
its predecessors, the new Delta 5 has an all metal pneumatic valve, providing
super smooth breathing performance in any condition. Oceanic has also added a
heat exchanger, positioned on the hose connection to the 2'nd stage, to
further increase it's already stellar cold water performance. Oceanic paired
the Delta 5 with the new eDX. This top-of-the-line cold forged, over-balanced
diaphragm first stage is environmentally sealed and comes with 4 low-pressure
and 2 high-pressure ports. It also comes equipped with a heat exchanger for
added cold water performance.
The eDX offers a balanced diaphragm design and is made of forged chromed
marine brass. The balanced diaphragm, first stage regulator is inherently
environmentally sealed. Water enters the main spring cavity and the pressure
increase from the water is transmitted to the internal components by the
impermeable diaphragm membrane. The benefit of this type of first stage design
is that none of the delicate internal parts are exposed-to-contaminants such
as salt, sand, chlorine or pool acids. These environmental contaminants can
cause corrosion and mineral deposits to form on the internal mechanism
deteriorating regulator performance. A diaphragm first stage regulator
requires less-maintenance then regulators that allow these contaminates to
enter the internal mechanism.
In addition the eDX first stage regulator has a secondary diaphragm to
completely seal-off the main spring cavity. A sealed balanced diaphragm design
isolate the main spring cavities internal components from the environment. It
also means the eDX is excellent for ice diving (it won't freeze up) or diving
in waters filled with contaminants or sediment (it won't corrode).
The Delta 5 eDX Regulator is nitrox ready out of the box to 40%. The Delta 5
takes this comfort even further with an orthodontic mouthpiece designed to
accommodate the natural overbite of the human jaw and 30" (76.2 cm) 3/8"
threaded Maxflex hose that all produce minimal jaw fatigue no matter the
length of the dive. The second stage is lightweight and has a 2.5" (6.35 cm)
diameter front profile making it one of the most compact designs on the
market. The second stage regulator has a dual adjustability with its
dive/pre-dive venturi lever to help prevent regulator free-flow while entering
the water through surf or jumping off the back of a boat. In addition the
dynamic airflow adjustment knob allows the diver to fine tune the regulators
breathing resistance during the dive for precise control of air flow to the
second-stage regulator. Regulator comes with an owner's manual.
