Description
Optimal Hose Routing
The Airstream 1 - Black PVD is a high-performance regulator designed to optimize hose routing. The specialist high-pressure ports (HP) angled at 45-degrees keeps gauges closer to the diver’s hips, while the 30-degree angled low-pressure ports (LP) guide hoses to route directly over the diver’s shoulders for optimal trim.
Streamlined Design for Efficiency
As divers move underwater, they quickly realize the importance of streamlined gear for efficient diving and gas conservation. The Airstream 1 - Black PVD features a streamlined hose routing in the first stage. The low-pressure ports are angled 30-degrees down and 23-degrees forward to keep the configuration close to the diver’s body. The high-pressure ports angled down at 45-degrees offer minimal resistance and keep the SPG as close to the diver’s side as possible.
High-Performance Features
The Airstream 1 - Black PVD delivers the industry’s best work of breathing (WOB) of .8 joules per liter. It is available in DIN or Yoke, has a 300 Bar service pressure, offers high performance overbalanced diaphragm first stage, and comes with environmental protection. The first stage has 4 LP and 2 HP ports angled for hose routing, and is ready for cold water and Nitrox (40% or less). The Black PVD finish, CE certification to EN250 European standards, and compatibility with all OMS Regulator models parts kits further enhance its quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does a scuba regulator need servicing?
Follow the interval in your regulator's manual, since manufacturers commonly specify an annual inspection or a set number of dives and many warranties depend on it. A regulator is life-support equipment, so service belongs with a factory-trained technician rather than being attempted at home. Have it looked at sooner than scheduled if you notice increased breathing effort, free-flow, bubbles, or water in the second stage.
How do I rinse and care for a regulator after diving?
Make sure the dust cap is dry and firmly seated over the first-stage inlet before the regulator goes anywhere near water, because water inside the first stage is the leading cause of internal corrosion. Rinse in fresh water without pressing the purge button, since purging while depressurized can draw water back into the second stage. Shake out the water and hang it to dry with the hoses in wide, gentle loops rather than tight bends.
Can I fly with a scuba regulator?
Regulators travel well and are usually best carried in hand luggage where they will not be crushed or lost. A regulator holds no gas of its own, so there is nothing inherently problematic about it on an aircraft, though the airline and security screeners always have the final say. Pack it dry with the dust cap in place, in a padded regulator bag or wrapped in soft gear.
Can I use my regulator with nitrox?
Many modern regulators are supplied as suitable for nitrox mixes up to 40 percent oxygen, which is the widely used recreational industry standard, while anything above that requires dedicated oxygen-clean equipment and procedures. Confirm what your specific regulator's manual states, and follow your nitrox training and your fill station's requirements. Never assume a regulator is oxygen-service clean simply because it looks clean or is new.
What is the difference between DIN and yoke regulators?
A yoke (A-clamp) fitting clamps over the tank valve and is the most common connection across much of the recreational world, while a DIN fitting screws into the valve and is standard in much of Europe and in technical diving. DIN captures the o-ring inside the threads, which many divers consider more secure, but yoke is often what rental cylinders provide. Adapters exist in both directions, so check what is used where you dive before deciding.
What is the octopus regulator for?
The octopus is your backup second stage, carried so you can share air with a buddy who is out of gas, or breathe from it yourself if your primary fails or free-flows. It is normally on a longer, brightly colored hose so it is easy to find and hand over under stress. Secure it in the triangle between your chin and the bottom of your rib cage so it is instantly accessible and not dragging through sand or coral.
How should I store a regulator between dive trips?
Store it fully dry, out of sunlight, with the dust cap in place and the hoses in wide loops rather than tightly coiled. Avoid hanging it by the second stages for long periods, which stresses the hose fittings; laying it flat in a padded bag or hanging it by the first stage is kinder. If it has sat unused for a long stretch, have it checked before your next trip rather than assuming it is ready to dive.
