The A700: Like a Diamond
|
|
SCUBAPRO has introduced a new regulator to their line, the A700. The A700 is an exquisite handcrafted second stage with a polished chrome exterior and all metal components, which is paired with redesigned polished chrome versions of the MK25 and MK17 first stages- a stylish combination built to last.
The A700 is not only a thing of beauty, it is revolutionary in its engineering. This jewel of a regulator is constructed through a unique process that incorporates over 200 different manufacturing operations, using a mix of the latest technologies. The full metal body and metal components assure maximum performance and quality. Metal provides the best thermal exchange imaginable for a second stage, dramatically lowering the possibility of freezing in cold water. The A700 also employs core SCUBAPRO features such as air balanced valve technology, diver adjustable inhalation effort, and a super-flow hose for massive air flow and extra durability.

Through rigorous testing, the A700 has breathing performance at any depth, any temperature, in any position. The Work of Breathing (WOB) has been lowered to an uncommon value of 0.5 J/l.
All this in a light, compact, and surprisingly stylish package. The A700 is like a diamond- its beauty will seduce you, its performance will amaze you.
