CE test performance

Asymmetrical frontal perforation.

The flow of the water starts to push the membrane counter-clockwise so that its retraction is perfectly flat and the cam progressively descends perpendicularly, independent of conditions (currents, brisk movements, facial position, etc.)

Patented cam tilt.

One of the main reasons for initial inspiratory effort is friction between the cam and the diaphragm. Xs Compact incorporates a new Cressi patent that reduces the friction coefficient from 0.2 to 0.001. The diaphragm's cam-disc friction is practically nonexistent thanks to the disc's polished Teflon covering and the cam’s pivot system which works entirely perpendicularly

Sliding bow.

Safe and reliable system that completely voids the need for anchoring elements

Bayonet closure with a 30º turn without thread, no tools needed, ideal for dive centers and schools to facilitate small emergency cleaning operations

Broad cap safety lock

Removable with no tools needed. Insertion-extraction movement in two different phases and angles to avoid accidental freeing in case of bumps or hits

The casing finish is achieved by applying a new technology in the mold that creates a variegated look on a micro-texture of rounded profiles, which reduces the appearance of ageing due to friction

Exceptionally light second stage: only 145 g

Exhalation effort particularly reduced without having to reduce the thickness of the membrane. The design of the membrane retention system directs the 100% channeled flow towards the nozzles of the bow, taking advantage of a strong Venturi effect. Also, it works to direct the bubbles away from the diver’s field of vision. Embedded membrane to avoid water infiltration in case of brisk turns or jumps to enter the water

New ultra flexible hose covered in thermoplastic rubber to guarantee resistance to erosion

The polyurethane valve, very mechanically resistant, both to oils and to hyperoxic mixtures. HP saddle in AISI316 stainless steel. In addition to being able to substitute it in case of deterioration during maintenance, the composition of the saddle, much harder than the traditional fixed brass saddles, prolongs its life as it is more resistant to the deformation caused by metal micro particles that can infiltrate from the tank

Highly effective flanged filter. Large effective filtration surface, as the base and sides of the cylinder work with a surface of 280 mm2. Inserted with no circlip necessary, as it remains anchored thanks to the valve connection nut

Advanced research on internal air circulation and an exclusive distribution chamber that channels the air volume directly to the LP ports has reduced the minimum pressure drop levels in labored breathing (0.5 bar), guaranteeing high performance in any situation

The mechanism’s hyper-compensation guarantees a light increase in the intermediate pressure as the pressure in the tank decreases. Therefore the regulator delivers the maximum level of performance in the final phases of the dive, which are undoubtedly the most critical. Mechanism in line with a number of optimized elements for maximum reliability, durability and reduced maintenance costs. Completely waterproof base, isolating the mobile mechanism from the exterior environment

The thickness of the walls has been optimized to greatly reduce its total size and weight (380 g). A semi-flexible elastomer sheath protects the 1st stage from erosion, wear and tear
