Questions & Answers

Khwaja masood H : Will this work with a cressi travelight?darrick c : Hello Khwaja, yes, this would come with an adaptor that would fit the Cressi BCD hose.
Shopper : I'm using Myflex hoses - does this come with hoses and/or an adapter to use my existing LP hose?darrick c : Hello, no this does not have an option for a myflex style hose.
Shopper : I'm using Myflex hoses - does this come with hoses?  Is there an adapter that I can "add" to my existing LP hose?JOE S : you might be able to buy an adapter, but not from Atomic to retro fit your hose. This does come with the hose that is meant for this regulator.
Shopper : will this fit on a oceanic jetpack bcd?darrick c : Hello, yes this air 2 comes with 3 different attachments that would make it fit an Oceanic BCD
Robert L : Does this have to be rinsed under pressure?MICHAEL S : NopeCHRISTOPHER H : No, it does not need to be rinsed under pressure. A thorough soak will sufficeJOE S : You do not have to rinse it under pressure, but just like any 1st and 2nd stage, you should avoid pressing the purge button while submerged or under heavy rinsing. This will allow water to penetrate the working mechanisms of the regulator speeding up corrosion. However, you can treat the deflate button as you would with any other BC power inflator. You should rinse your BC and empty using the pull dumps and the deflator on the SS1.

Best way to streamline your Rec Kit

Excellent way to streamline your rec diving setup. However, if you ever have to use it, you will not find it as comfortable to breathe from like your primary regulator. It limits neck motions while using it, and work of breathing isn't as smooth. This is compared to using an Atomic Z3 as primary. However, it does what it was designed to do. Perform as a safe secondary for life support and you easily eliminate a hose on your regulator setup.

Awesome product

I purchased this integrated air after seeing my dive instructor using it. Having air inflate/deflate for your BCD and the octopus integrated definitely streamlines your gear. Putting the unit on your bcd and having it fit your valve was super easy, I have a zeagle zena for what it's worth. Used on my dives flawlessly, would recommend it to anyone!

So far so good

Works great, I have it on my Zeagle BCD and use it with the Aqualung legend regulator, so far no problems and breathes well at 90 ft

Bought for a Cressi R1 BCD

Contrary to common thought, this DOES work with our Cressi R1 BCD's! The product comes with options for various hose diameters and the Cressi hose fits one just fine. No leaks and super easy to install. Bye, Bye, Octo!

I like this setup. I got rid of an older Mares Abyss octo and the associated hose. This makes for a much more streamlined setup. While it doesn't breathe as well as my Atomic T3 main, it's very good, and much better than that old Mares. I did, however, choose to replace the mouthpiece. The one that came on the octo was far too small and uncomfortable. But that was only a couple of bucks for the upgrade, no biggie.

works as described

Very easy breathing at depth, inflator takes getting used to because it is considerably faster than my old integrated octo but it very is tunable when you get used to the buttons resistance.

Streamlined, convenient, easy breather

I bought the SS1 based on a good friend's recommendation (PADI Dive Guide professionally). It's very convenient and extremely easy to breathe from. The mouthpiece is not the most comfortable, but that's not the purposes anyway. I have no problems with this at all and love how streamlined I am. Very happy with my purchase. The quick detach system is very convenient for frequent travel.

Great product! I did have to get an old style hose for my Cressi Travelight BCD though because it doesn't fit the new style hose.

Excellent

Bought as a replacement for the Air2 on my BC. Works great, every bit as smooth and easy as the Air2 was but now with 2 year service interval. Love Atomic regulator quality and reliability and this does not disappoint.

great octo

I had an issue connecting this to my Mares Dragon BC for the fact that the BC was wired different then the directions giving to install the Octo. But got it done and works great.

Good Alternate

I am quite pleased with this product as I am with all of Atomic's products. This alternate is great for streamlining your gear as it attaches to your BC hose. The only downside I found about this alt reg is that you will be nice and close to your buddy when, or if, sharing since you no longer have that long yellow hose to tote around. All in all, it's great and very reliable.

Great second regulator

Let me first say that I dont have the titanium one but the regular one. I think this second reg. is great. It does make load noises when you use it. But I dont care about noise. I am about performance!!! I have used this at depth 125' with ease. People that say it breathes as well as thier primary regulator are not using top of the line primary's. Although it works great and I am not putting it down. It definately does'nt breath like my Aqualung LX ACD. I still give it 5 stars. It never leaks and always performs!

Good, but Noisy

All around good purchase. Easy to use, and very convenient, but extremely noisy to breathe through. I would still recommend it, but would have to include a warning about the noise. I have yet to try this at depths below 100'.

One of the best octo/inflators

One of the best breathing octo/inflators available. The SS1 is very lightweight and has a low profile. It comes with multiple corrugated-hose adapters to fit any brand of BC. The lp inflator hose has a screw-on adapter that can be taken off and mounted on a different lp hose. I prefer the Miflex hoses. They are much more flexible and are much more comfortable to use with an octo/inflator. All in all, this is a top-quality octo/inflator that I am very happy with!

Lightweight, Excellent Breathing Second

The SS1 breaths nearly as well as my T1, which is saying something. Since I fly strictly carry-on, this fits very well with my "lighter is better" packing. Also it has a quick disconnect feature, allowing tooless removal from BC for easy packing. This is much lighter and breaths better than the very good Air2 it replaced.

THIS IS MY SECOND ONE I PURCHASED

When you took dive lessons you learned to perform specific skills to make you safe and comfortable underwater and at the surface. One of those skills was buoyancy control. Once you start diving for fun you use your buoyancy control device constantly throughout the dive. Your octopus or alternate air source device on the other hand is never used unless there is an emergency out of air situation. Reacting properly in an out of air emergency can make the difference between a safe dive and a tragedy. If your alternate air source and your BCD inflator device are one and the same, you will always know where to find it in an emergency.

The SS1 is the newest and most sophisticated product of its type, taking the concept to new levels of convenience, reliability and performance. It contains a high-flow second stage that performs on the same level as many high-performance regulators. It will deliver high flow rates to a diver at depth with a minimum of effort. It is, however very stable and not prone to unnecessary free-flow or leakage from water movement while swimming, or during entries or exits. The inflator/deflator is easy to operate with soft surfaced buttons placed where they can be easily operated with one hand.

One of the most unique features of the SS1 is its adaptability to almost any BCD. Atomic Aquatics has designed a set of adapters (patent pending) to fit virtually every poplar BCD brand available. The adapters also include components for attaching the cable exhaust feature of your existing BCD (if applicable). The SS1 features a quick disconnect not only on the low-pressure hose, but the BCD hose as well. The adapters that fit the SS1 to the BCD are connected to the SS1 with a threaded collar that can be easily unscrewed to detach it completely from the BCD. Now you can carry or store the SS1 with your primary regulator and gauges (patent pending).

The SS1 combines the functions of the inflator and octopus regulator into a single unit. This reduces the overall bulk and weight of your dive gear; eliminates hoses, and places your back-up regulator in a fixed, familiar location. This time proven concept is a convenient and efficient alternative to the dedicated octopus second stage. Reduce your rig by one hose with the high performance Atomic Aquatics SS1. The high-flow, low-pressure disconnect is interchangeable with many other models yet smaller size and lighter in weight. Large oversized and ergonomically shaped buttons are easy to find for pneumatic or oral inflation/deflation. They are easy to distinguish and faced with soft tactile rubber surfaces.

The elliptically shaped body of the SS1 lies flat against the BCD keeping it out-of-the-way and reducing drag. Seat wear is the first cause of regulator leaks and performance degradation. The stainless-steel dynamic orifice is pressure energized and only contacts the rubber seat when in use. Equipped with a titanium lever this high-strength metal part is the link to your air supply and will never fail due to rust or corrosion. The integrated purge cover is a one-piece flexible cover allows purge of the regulator when depressed anywhere on the cover surface.

The SS1 has 316-grade stainless-steel inflation/deflation stem, quick disconnect, demand valve body, orifice and springs. The mouthpiece and diaphragm are silicone rubber and the SS1 body is manufactured from fiberglass reinforced nylon. The SS1 is a dependable downstream demand valve design. The SS1 weighs 7 oz. (200 g) without the hose and the 3/8" threaded hose also weighs 7 oz. (200 g) and measures 28" (71cm) in length. The SS1 comes with an owner's manual.
