Hi Diver! I'm Kelvin, click here to see accessories and upgrades for this product.
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
Manufacturer Reference / Part No.:
The Mikron is the smallest and lightest weight regulator in the Aqua Lung line. Weighing in at just 26 oz. (din) and 31 oz. (yoke), this regulator is perfect for the travelling diver. Even more amazing is the performance is not sacrificed by the extreme compactness of the regulator. Its balanced first and second stages produce excellent breathing performance.

I initially chose this regulator for the small size, but it has proven itself over and over again. Don't let the size fool you--it performs perfectly. The Mikron does well in warm water, temperate water, right-side up, upside down, and everything in between. It breathes comfortably in all situations and is completely reliable (with regular service, of course).
I bought this regulator because of it's size and have never been disappointed in it. I have been all over the Caribbean, Texas Lakes and parts of the South Pacific and it breathes wonderfully whether I am at 10 feet in a fresh water lake or 130 feet on a wall dive. You will NOT be disappointed with the Mikron!
I bought this regulator for a travel regulator and now use it for everything. It weighs less then titanium regulators breaths great. If you are looking for a lightweight easy breathing regulator this would be a great choice.
