Your cart is empty.The newest and most technically advanced safe-second/inflator ever developed. Unlike other products in this category, the breathing performance of the SS1 rivals that of high performance second stages.

Lets face it none of us use our safe seconds as our primary regulator but this combination does a pretty good job. Its not a balanced second stage but it is comfortable enough and eliminates one hose. I highly recommend this. Very easy to install, even if you have a dump valve at the top of your inflator tube

It is a Xmas gift so it hasn't been assembled and tested yet. However I am confident that it will be a great asset to my son's scuba gear.

I cannot say enough good things about this regulator. The ability to remove an extra hose from your scuba set up is an absolute pleasure. Breathing off of this safe second feels just as good as my high-dollar primary regulator, and I have no question about the safety, quality, and reliability of this reg in an emergency. Highly recommend to fellow divers, instructors, and students.

I wasn't "in love" with this reg/inflator at first. On the surface breathing through it is "choppy" and even a little noisy (think snoring). HOWEVER I recently had time and forethought to switch this out with my primary regulator at depth (100 feet) and it worked great! It is a little on the pricy side but I am convinced that when the need arises this safe second won't let me down.

Breathes quite well for a secondary, about the same as some rental primaries that I've used. Breathes a little better than the Aeris Air Link that it replaced.Just make sure the divers you dive with know that that is going to become your air source in an emergency and they need to use your primary as their reserve when using this. Thats the only complication with it, but knowing that, it performs everything you could ask of it very well.Nice service intervals too (3 years/ 300 dives), and I like that with Atomic regs you can simply send in your octo and have the factory refurb it for a reasonable price (about the same price as a local dive shop, but you know its being done 100% correctly)

New to the Atomic family but a passionate diver for over 20 years. I purchased an Atomic B1, B1 Octopus, and Atomic Aquatics SS1 for my trip over the holidays! I am sold....I am now a raving Atomic regulator fan.

The SS1 is great. With my eyes closed and a reg in my mouth I wouldn't be able to tell you if it was my Z2X or the SS1. If you can work a zip tie, the installation is pretty easy. I had it on my Tusa Platina BC in about 5 minutes. If this thing gets run over or I drop a tank on it, I would definitely buy it again.

Call me naive, but I expect things to work right out of the box, without modification. When I received my Safe Second less than an hour ago I was excited.... until I opened the box. You get the regulator/inflator assembly, a pressure hose and some adapters. How exactly am I supposed to attach this to my BC without cutting the existing inflator apart, thereby rendering it useless? For $230 I could have walked out of Sport Chalet with a 'plug and play' second stage. Now I have what I consider to be a useless piece of crap that requires I spend more money to avoid destroying what I already have.I'll be returning this item.
