You cannot breathe directly out of a scuba tank because of the high pressure. A regulator reduces pressure to safe a level that can be inhaled by the diver. A diving regulator has two parts: the First Stage reduces the tank pressure and connects it to the Second Stage which contains the mouthpiece for breathing

Introducing the Sleek New Oceanic Omega3 Side Exhaust Regulator, once again Oceanic needed to break a few conventions in order to provide the kind of performance they demand in their gear. From the unique Levered Servo Valve to the placement of the Dive/Pre-Dive Switch and the positioning of the Side-Exhaust Valve... everything has been considered. The Omega3 is a Daringly Unique Regulator Design and a Perfect-Example of how Diver Ergonomics-and-Valve Function can come together to produce a Regulator that is Far-More-Superior than Traditional Designs. The new Cold Forged, Over-Balanced Diaphragm FDXi First Stage comes with DVT and is Environmentally Sealed. The In-Line Design Limits the Pressure Loss inherent in "L" Type First Stage Designs making the FDXi More Efficient and Lighter due to its Compact Form. The FDXi offers a Balanced Diaphragm. The Balanced Diaphragm, First Stage Regulator is inherently Environmentally Sealed. The benefit of this type of First Stage design is that none of the Delicate Internal Parts are Exposed-to-Contaminants such as Salt, Sand, Chlorine or Pool Acids. These Environmental Contaminants can cause Corrosion and Mineral Deposits to form on the Internal Mechanism Deteriorating Regulator Performance. A Diaphragm First Stage Regulator requires Less-Maintenance then Regulators that allow the Contaminates to enter the Internal Mechanism. The FDXi features DVT (Dry Valve Technology). DVT takes keeping the Internal Component
