What changed is the materials: lead free brass, trivalent chrome plating that takes less energy to apply, second stage polymers from bio based and post consumer recycled sources, and a solar powered factory. On a warm water reef dive the low weight reduces jaw fatigue across a long dive. On a cold water dive the sealed first stage performs like the platform it comes from. On a shore entry the venturi lever stops it running away at the surface. This is the Mint colourway.
