The Philippine Boat Show Sea-Expo 2010 is not just about boats, nor is it simply a nautical lifestyle event. The Philippine Boat Show Sea-Expo 2010 is also about introducing the latest trends and technology that make life wearable.
To lose weight is a goal of millions who want to get into the wearable lifestyle but only now is it something applicable to scuba diving. Last week GetWet spoke to Aquaventure Whitetip Dive Supply, at their Manila headquarters, to discover what was new in scuba diving in 2010,and some of the new is very surprising.
As Aquaventure Whitetip Dive Supply’s Chris Cahn explained, “traveling with scuba equipment can be expensive with excess baggage charges getting silly on some airlines . . . the all new Aqualung Zuma BCD and Apeks Flight regulator were designed for divers tired of paying excess baggage charges”.
Chris handed the new 2010 models over to the GetWet team and all we could say was “Wow! . . . that’s light”.
Chris confirmed, “If you want to lose weight on your next dive trip. You need the Aqualung Zuma BCD and the Apeks Flight regulator – products specifically designed and engineered to lose weight, to empower you into a travel-friendly scuba diving lifestyle choice”.
The fun Aqualung Zuma BCD is an ultra-light, weight-integrated, back-inflation, BCD that has everything you need, yet it is so light and compact that you can pack the Aqualung Zuma BCD in your carry-on bag. Lift the Aqualung Zuma BCD, feel for yourself that a size ML/LG Zuma weighs less than 2 kg (4.4 lbs) . . . with the airway and weight pockets included!
Up or down the air goes all the way around with Aqualung Zuma’s donut-style air cell. When scuba divers need to vent, Aqualung BCD’s back mount design features three dump valves allowing easy release of air from any position. Aqualung’s innovative Flat E-valve technology reduces drag in the water by maintaining a low-profile and the innovative scuba tank support system eliminates the need for a hard pack. This brings the scuba tank closer to the spine and your radial center of gravity. Weight integration features the SureLock™II mechanical lock and release mechanism. No more fumbling around, the weight pockets align themselves. Just insert the pocket until it “clicks”. A simple, single-pull release is all that is needed to jettison the weights in an emergency. You may never want to use another BCD again!
The Apeks Flight regulator is the lightest scuba regulator in the world! When designing the Flight regulator, Apeks started with a blank canvas and looked at materials, shape, form and function. Apeks’ expertise, and the vast archive of knowledge built from making only the finest scuba regulators, has created Apeks’ Flight. This revolutionary scuba regulator is made using advanced composite materials selected for their optimum strength-to-weight ratio and is extremely easy to use.
The Apeks Flight regulator is a mid-range scuba regulator and despite its compact size its breathing performance is exceptional. It can be used in water temperatures down to 10 degrees and has all the features we expect from Apeks: a balanced diaphragm first stage; optimized port placements; and, the Apeks Flight regulator is easily serviced. The Apeks Flight regulator also features a lightweight, flexible, braided hose and a unique yoke knob design that does not extend outward as it is unscrewed. Finally, the Apeks Flight regulator is also designed to minimize entanglements. What more could you ask for? A safe, light weight, high-performance scuba regulator.
You can purchase both the Aqualung Zuma BCD and Apeks Flight regulator at Aquaventure Whitetip Dive Supply’s booth at the Philippine Boat Show Sea-Expo 2009 19-21 March, 2010, One Esplanade, Mall Of Asia, or at their stores located in Manila, Puerto Galera, Mactan, Boracay and Cebu.
