Atomic Aquatics BC2 with SS1 Octo Inflator is designed as the back inflation evolution of the popular jacket-style Atomic Aquatics BC1 that redefined conventional BC design. The BC2 is engineered using the same unique materials and patented Atomic Aquatics features as the BC1, including the EZ-LOK integrated weight system and CAM-LOK ratcheting tank band.
BC2 delivers a superior level of flotation, balance and comfort. Unlike most other back inflation BCs, BC2 is neutrally-buoyant. Additional weight is not required to offset positively buoyant materials as with other back flotation BC models. BC2 is the most comfortable back inflation BC available. A diver feels bolted in becoming one with the BC, which exudes a feeling of confidence and comfort during the dive.
A special silicone retraction band, connected to the outer flotation cell, expands then cleanly retracts into a protective sleeve under the weight pocket. The silicone band material dries quickly and will not deteriorate like elastic style webbing.
Atomic BC2 Features:
Diamond Pattern Quilted Backpad and Adjustable Lumbar Pad
Custom 316 Stainless Steel D-Rings with Titanium PVD Coating
Replaceable Inner Bladder
Sand-Resistant Pocket Zippers
The Atomic BC2 offers divers the option of adding high-performance air inflation and safe second options, including the streamlined Atomic Aquatics SS1 Safe Second, available in Titanium or Stainless Steel. Divers can choose to equip the BC2 with the pairing of an Atomic Aquatics Octo and Ai Power Inflator. Inflator/safe second options are sold separately, allowing divers to choose the option that best meets their diving style.
Atomic Aquatics SS1 Included
To reduce weight we included the Atomic SS1 The SS1 combines the functions of the Inflator and Octopus Regulator into a Single Unit. This Reduces-the-Overall Bulk and Weight of your Dive Gear; Eliminates-Hoses, and places your Back-Up Regulator in a fixed, familiar location. This time proven concept is a Convenient-and-Efficient Alternative to the Dedicated-Octopus Second Stage. Reduce your Rig by One-Hose with the High-Performance Atomic SS1. The High-Flow, Low Pressure Disconnect is Interchangeable with many other Models yet smaller size and Lighter in Weight. Large Oversized and Ergonomically-Shaped Buttons are Easy-to-Find for Pneumatic or Oral Inflation/Deflation. They are Easy-to-Distinguish and Faced with Soft Tactile Rubber Surfaces.
The SS1 has Stainless Steel Inflation/Deflation Stem, Demand Valve Body, Stainless Steel Orifice and Springs and a 316-Grade Quick Disconnect. The Mouthpiece and Diaphragm are Silicone Rubber and the SS1 Body is manufactured from Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon. The SS1 is a Dependable Downstream Demand Valve Design. The SS1 weighs 6.3 oz (180 g) without the Hose and the Hose also weighs 6.7 oz (190 g) and measures 28" (71 cm) in length.
