A “jumper” scuba hose must always be used to connect the main gas supply through a one way valve and to the side block on the pod. A big bore "jumper" hose comes with the pod which includes an adapter to secure the one way valve directly to the umbilical gas supply hose.

The mask skirt has two vent holes located in each eye cavity of the mask. Using the defogger control knob and inhaling through the nose, defogs the lenses with ease.

The communications are modular, with earphone/microphone elements routed to an externally mounted communication module which is easily removed and replaced if needed.

The linking component (Banjo Tube) to the regulator, from the side block, is made of titanium for strength and to eliminate corrosion and excess weight. The body and additional metal components are made from 316L stainless steel. The design of the control valves is straightforward and easy to maintain.

The pod includes the weight, regulator, communications and side block as one complete unit.

The main tube assembly is a slight variation from the main tube assembly of the balanced scuba regulator. All parts are interchangeable except the balance spacer and adjustable nipple.
