The best diving gear Of 2007 - Atomic Aquatics ST1

Atomic Aquatics ST1

Atomic Aquatics ST1

En route to earning a Testers' Choice nod in this year's review, the ST1 proved to be the latest in a long line of top-performing regs from Atomic Aquatics. It sports a balanced piston first stage with a body milled from 316 stainless steel, while the pneumatically balanced second stage features a valve body and lever made of corrosion-resistant titanium. It's loaded with all the performance goodies Atomic regs are famous for, plus adds a couple dollops of comfort by way of a well-designed mouthpiece and Atomic's Comfort Swivel. In the 2007 primary reg review, the ST1 also turned in the lowest work of breathing scores on the ANSTI machine and was named the "smoothest breather of the bunch" by test divers. $899; $939 w/sealed yoke or DIN valve. www.atomicaquatics.com.
