OCEANIC WORLDWIDE LAUNCHES THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BREATHING SYSTEM INNOVATION SINCE THE SINGLE-HOSE REGULATOR

February 23, 2005 - San Leandro, CA - With the introduction of the all-new Delta 4, Oceanic unveils the first regulator to ever feature patented DVT (Dry Valve Technology).

Ever wonder why they call it a DUST cap and not a WATER cap? Regardless of how carefully divers handle their equipment, most first stages are exposed to corrosive water intrusion either when removed from the cylinder valve or while soaking. This water entry inevitably causes expensive repairs and has detrimental effects on regulator performance due to corrosion of critical internal components, bacteria build-up, hose deterioration, and damaged gauges and computers.

"DVT is a patented regulator technology designed to automatically prevent moisture and contaminants from entering your first stage inlet, even if the dust cap is left off" stated Doug Krause, Product Manager of Oceanic. "No hassle, no worries. The valve simply remains closed until air pressure from your cylinder opens it" Krause further stated.

What about performance? DVT doesn't impact first stage performance even at 198 feet with just 200 psi in your tank. Amazing. Simple. Patented and only available from Oceanic.

The Delta 4 is Oceanic's newest entry in our growing line of high-quality, high-value regulators designed right here in the good 'ol USA. Every facet of the Delta 4 has been improved to help you breathe easy and make your dive buddies green with envy. Dollar For Dollar, Ounce For Ounce The Best Regulator Available Period. The Delta 4 is one hot new regulator ready to take on all challengers with:

Adjustable Inhalation Effort allows customized performance to match the wide variety of demands we place on our equipment. A simple twist of the Delta 4's adjustment knob enables complete control...set the inhalation requirement to near zero when you need ultimate performance, or tune it for greaters resistance as conditions or preferences change.

Patented Dynamic Adjustment automatically maintains your preferred breathing resistance throughout the dive. Set it once and the Delta 4 automatically adjusts to make breathing as easy at 100 feet as it is at 30 feet - with no additional manual adjustment.

Adjustable Venturi Switch (A.V.S.) diverts the airflow from the valve directly to the mouthpiece, producing smooth venturi-assisted inhalation underwater, while preventing freeflow on the surface.

Ergonomic Inline Swivel for reduced jaw fatigue and ultimate comfort. If it's not a Delta, it can't possibly be comfortable.

Anti-Surge Diaphragm Plate reduces freeflow caused by surge or oncoming current, and gives you three color options to fit your style.

Nitrox Compatible with breathing gas mixtures containing up to 40% oxygen by volume right out of the box.

FDX-10 Balanced Diaphragm First Stage features optimized air paths thanks to a highly advanced forged unit and angled hose ports for superior performance and comfort. A sealed Balanced Diaphragm design, Enviro Kit and patented DVT (Dry Valve Technology) totally isolate critical internal components from the environment.

Simply put, the new Delta 4 is a NO COMPROMISE regulator destined to claim its place in dive bags all over the world. People will signal "OUT OF AIR" just to try it!
