AQUALUNG Mikron (1+2 stage) + Mikron Octo

AQUALUNG Micron + Octopus Micron - Breathing Regulator

Small, light, efficient - perfect for teenagers and travelers!

The Micron is the smallest and lightest weight regulator in the Aqua Lung line. Weighing just 751 g, this regulator is perfect for the travelling diver. Even more amazing is that the performance is not sacrificed by the extreme compactness of the regulator. Its balanced first and second stages produce excellent breathing performance. Equipped with Aqua Lung’s patented Comfobite™ mouthpiece along with a reusable mouthpiece clamp. Black/pink version features a smaller Comfobite™ mouthpiece designed for smaller mouths, and a detachable silicone bridge which fits across the upper palate.

Features:

First Stage:

• Compact dimensions and low weight blend comfort with a unique diving experience
• A braided hose, weighing less than 5 oz., provides flexibility, comfort and excellent packability
• The first stage is a balanced diaphragm type that sports 2 HP ports (7/16) and 4 MP ports (3/8)
• The reduced size and weight makes the Mikron the ideal choice for travelers and young adults
• The balanced diaphragm first stage, by the nature of its design, is environmentally sealed and provides excellent, consistent performance
• Available in yoke (3300 psi / 232 bar max) or din (4350 psi / 300 bar max)
• The T-shape of the first stage optimizes the location of the 4 MP ports and 2 HP ports
• Uses parts that are common to other Aqua Lung models for easier servicing
• Compatible with EAN 40 new, out of the box
• Compatible with up to 40% O2 right out of the box

Second Stage:

• Pneumatically-balanced second stage results in smooth, easy breathing
• The second stage has an adjustment knob that allows the diver to optimize the opening effort. In the “Mini” position, the opening effort is increased, which is ideal for avoiding free flows at the surface. In the “Maxi” position, the inhalation effort is lowered, reducing the work of breathing
• Available in two colors: a black/blue and a black/pink

Octopus:

• Pneumatically-balanced octopus is ideally suited for over-balanced first stages
• An inhalation effort adjustment knob allows you to desensitize the unit while it is stowed for the dive preventing unwanted freeflow
• High visibility 39” braided, yellow hose and high visibility yellow cover makes it easy to locate in an emergency
