LEG3ND MBS + PRO HD WOMEN SET

This Aqua Lung set pairs the Leg3nd MBS Pack with the wrap-around Pro HD jacket in the women’s cut, and adds the Combo 2K console. Its second stage combines Venturi and inhalation-effort control into one knob, the Master Breathing System.

The Master Breathing System moves both settings together along a curve Aqua Lung sets, so one gloved rotation covers what two knobs would take. Work of breathing is 0.7 j/L. The over-balanced DIN 300 bar first stage weighs 747 g and carries two 7/16 inch UNF high-pressure ports and four 3/8 inch UNF medium-pressure ports. The Leg3nd Octopus rides on a yellow hose. The Pro HD Women is shaped around a shorter torso and a different shoulder line rather than scaled down, and it carries the same ResisteK outer and patented SureLock II weight release. The Combo 2K console adds a 50 mm pressure gauge and an in-line depth gauge on one 80 cm hose, weighing 389 g.

The result is a top-tier regulator that can be retuned mid-dive with one gloved hand, on a buoyancy compensator sized to the diver rather than to shop stock.

Sizing follows the Pro HD Women, XS to ML, roughly 100 g a step; the rest is one size. Cylinder, computer, weights and exposure protection are separate. The men’s Pro HD and the unisex Pro HD Compact are the other cuts. At R37,588 the set saves R9,397.01 on the parts bought singly.
