The Ambient Breathing Valve

    Due to the unavailability of The Gill, OTS has created their own version of this valve, known as the ABV-1. This ABV can be retrofitted into existing AGA’s or ordered with new mask purchases. The ABV-1 is a must for all Search & Rescue Teams, Military Divers and Divers who spend time on the surface before a dive and want to conserve breathing gas. Details are below ... Call Buckeye today for pricing and delivery times.


  

    The ABV-1 Ambient Breathing Valve allows the user to breathe ambient air at the surface conserving your tank air. It is simple to use and its low profile keeps it out of the way. To use the device, while on the surface simply rotate the valve counterclockwise. The one way valve will open and allow air into the FFM.


    The one way valve located on the inside of the FFM ensures that your exhaled air does not go back out the valve. Your exhaled air is sent out through the second stage regulator ensuring you do not get a Co2 "build-up" in the FFM. The valve also is forced closed when diving. The over pressure in the FFM assures that. If you forget to close the valve before diving, the valve disc will help keep water out. When the valve is closed, it has a low profile.

    Even when the valve is fully open, the profile only slightly changes. When the valve is open the diver breathes normally. He/she will notice little effort in breathing while he conserves his tank air.

SW-1 360 degree Hose Swivel

    AGA hose swivel. Installs on the AGA second stage regulator allowing a standard scuba hose to be used. Allows 360 degree movement with standard scuba hose.

Interspiro Full Face Masks

    The Interspiro line of diving full face masks (ffm) are second to none! All have been field proven by Government, Military, Commercial & Public Safety Teams around the world.


    The ffm are primarily used with SCUBA but are often utilised with surface supplied gas as well as rebreathers.


    The Divator II, commonly referred to as the AGA Mask has been tested by Duke University to 1,800 feet and found to be extremely reliable (unmanned test). Many Professional Divers around the world choose the AGA ffm. With the addition of our ABV-1, ambient breathing valve, standby divers as well as divers on the surface can effortlessly conserve air. All the Interspiro, AGA full face masks featured below have been tested by the U.S. Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) and are approved for Naval use. If you're looking for the best, you need not look any further. Contact Buckeye today and we will help you choose which AGA ffm is best for you.
