TITAN + PRO HD COMPACT SET

This Aqua Lung set pairs the Titan and the Calypso / Titan Octopus with the back-inflation Pro HD Compact, and adds the Combo 2K console. The Titan pairs an over-balanced first stage with a pneumatically balanced second stage at the lower end of the range.

Work of breathing is 1.0 j/L on both second stages. The DIN 300 bar first stage weighs 460 g and carries two high-pressure ports in 7/16 inch UNF and four medium-pressure ports in 3/8 inch UNF. The octopus runs a 39 inch yellow hose and a Venturi lever that shuts off the assist while it is carried, which heads off the freeflow a trailing second stage otherwise starts. The Pro HD Compact is published at under 2.2 kg in ML/LG, about a kilogram under the wrap-around Pro HD, and it still takes patented SureLock II weight pockets. 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 consistent breathing at depth without the price of the Leg3nd range, on a layout a technician services quickly, on a buoyancy compensator sized to the diver rather than to shop stock.

Sizing follows the Pro HD Compact, four bands from XXS/XS to XL/XXL; the rest is one size. Cylinder, computer, weights and exposure protection are separate. At R27,984 the set saves R6,795.99 on the parts bought singly.
