Oceanic Alpha 8 SP5 Regulator

• 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 the SP-5 Sport Piston first stage featuring Oceanic's exclusive D.V.T. (Dry Valve Technology) that helps put an end to flooded regulators without sacrificing performance! D.V.T. is a revolutionary regulator technology designed to automatically eliminate moisture and contaminants from entering your first stage even if the dust cap is left off eliminating corrosion of critical internal components, bacteria, internal hose deterioration and damaged gauges and computers.
  

How to Read Work of Breathing Charts
The computer-generated breathing machine chart presented above represents a regulator's performance per standards established by the U.S. Navy's Experimental Diving Unit. Tests are conducted at 198 feet with approximately 3000-psi supply pressure, 25 breaths per minute of 2.5 liters each.

(1) Inhalation - The chart shows one complete breath cycle, starting with inhalation on the left and continuing along the bottom to the right, staying mostly below 0.0; thus the inhalation work of breathing is reported in negative numbers.

(2) Exhalation - The exhalation effort begins on the right and runs across the top to the left. These are all positive numbers since a diver (or the machine in this case) is blowing out (exhaling) rather than inhaling.

(3) WOB - The total area inside the loop formed by the two lines is what the computer analyses to calculate the regulator's total work of breathing - the amount of energy the regulator requires to move each liter of air.
