This is a great regulator at a great price! Air flow remains the same regardless of your depth. If you want to dive like a pro you need this regulator.
The Alpha Standard. The standard by which all other entry-level regulators are judged. For recreational divers looking for professional performance at a reasonable price, the Alpha 8 makes the adventure of diving that much easier to experience.
- The best price-to-performance ratio in its class
- Designed to perform to the U.S. Navy’s Class A standards at 198 feet
- Inexpensive to maintain
- Paired with our PX-3 Balanced Piston First Stage featuring DVT (Dry Valve Technology)
Best Price / Performance ratio in its class
Not only is the Alpha 8 an economical buy for the diver on a budget, it is just as inexpensive to maintain. Standard replacement parts can cost as little as half of those in other regulators in its class.
Patented orthodontic mouthpiece
To further reduce jaw fatigue, the Alpha 8 features a patented Orthodontic Mouthpiece, designed to accommodate the natural overbite of the human jaw.
Nitrox Compatibility
The Alpha 8 is classified as being suitable for use with nitrox breathing gas mixtures containing up to 40% oxygen by volume without the need for special preparation, cleaning or component parts.
PX-3 Balanced Piston First Stage
Like the name implies, the PX-3 Balanced Piston is a balanced design, meaning that air flow volume is unaffected by depth or tank pressure. In other words; performance is consistent from the beginning to the end of your dive, even under difficult or deep diving conditions. The swiveled low pressure ports and the addition of a 5th LP port of the PX-3 make it easy to route your low pressure hoses for your second stage, alternate air source, BC power inflator, or drysuit any way you want.
