Cressi XS Compact AC2 INT Regulator Set: The Ultimate Lightweight Diving Companion

Discover the pinnacle of compact design and unwavering reliability with the Cressi XS Compact AC2 Regulator Set, engineered for the discerning diver who values performance and portability. This exceptional regulator set is the perfect choice for travel, new divers, and as a high-performing backup system, offering a comfortable and effortless breathing experience on every underwater journey. Its intelligent design focuses on minimizing weight and bulk without ever compromising on the safety and robustness that Cressi is renowned for.

The heart of this set´s travel-friendly nature is the revolutionary XS Compact second stage. As one of the smallest regulators on the market, it boasts an incredibly small diameter of just 6cm, making it astonishingly lightweight. This significant reduction in size and weight translates directly to reduced jaw fatigue, even on long dives, allowing you to focus on the beauty of the aquatic world. The second stage is constructed from a hyper-light technopolymer, featuring a monocoque body made of ABS and elastomer. This advanced construction is complemented by an integral pushbutton purge cover that is soft, large, and easy to operate, even when wearing thick gloves, ensuring instant and effortless clearing.

Paired with the second stage is the legendary AC2 first stage, a workhorse celebrated for its simple, yet bulletproof, piston design. This time-tested mechanism is famous for its extreme durability, reliability, and low-cost, easy maintenance, making it a favorite of dive centers and divers worldwide. The AC2 first stage is machined to perfection and provides consistent, dependable airflow in a variety of diving conditions. It is expertly configured with 1 HP (high-pressure) and 4 LP (low-pressure) ports, offering optimal hose routing for a streamlined and comfortable setup. To ensure the cleanest air delivery possible, it incorporates a large, efficient conical filter.

This complete regulator system delivers exceptional performance tailored to your needs. It is available with both INT and DIN 300 connections, ensuring compatibility with tanks around the globe. A key technical advantage is the capability for external regulation of the intermediate pressure (P.I.), allowing a certified technician to easily fine-tune the regulator for peak performance throughout its long service life. Whether you are exploring a local quarry or embarking on a tropical dive vacation, the Cressi XS Compact AC2 set provides the confidence, comfort, and performance you need to explore the depths

It´s lightweight and compact, which is great when you´re traveling or on the go. It´s great that just because it´s small doesn´t mean it´s less functional; it´s actually quite good.

Ludo

If you are into recreational diving, you don't want to spend a lot and a small team, this is yours. It adapts very well to the mouth, it is not as big as others on the market and it works very well, you don't have to buy things separately, it comes together in terms of primary and secondary regulators and hoses. You must add your gauge and depth gauge. I have been diving with him every weekend for 8 months without any news. Recommended.
