Uses the DS4 first stage
Unique over-balanced, diaphragm design
1 HP port and 4 MP ports are available.
An environmental dry system keeps water out of the main spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and keeping silt and contamination out.
Available in DIN and yoke.

Pneumatically-balanced second stage results in smooth, easy breathing.
The large purge button on the ATX is easy to operate even with thick gloves.
The integrated venturi control provides a performance boost at depth while preventing unwanted freeflow at the surface.
An extremely efficient exhaust valve improves the breathing performance of the regulator.
The Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece virtually eliminates jaw-fatigue.
A heat exchanger (patented) which surrounds the valve mechanism, dissipates the cold caused by gas expansion while drawing in the warmth of the ambient water.
Offers a compact, integrated exhaust tee.

Wrapture Harness System (pat. pend.) – Using patented swivel shoulder buckles and a proprietary, ultra-thin backplate, the Wrapture provides unsurpassed comfort and stability. Wrapture prevents the BC from “riding-up” on the surface. Out of the water, the Wrapture keeps the cylinder close to your centre of gravity and transfers the weight to your hips. The result is the ability to stand up straight with a cylinder that is perfectly vertical.
Because of the multiple size settings at the top of the shoulders, as well as either side of the waistband, a custom fit can be achieved through any one of 3 sizes.
SureLock II Mechanical Weight Release System (patented) – provides a safe, single-pull release. Inserting weight is as simple as insert and “click”. With SureLock, your weights are secure in the BC. Once engaged, the only way to release the weight is to pull on the handle.
Dual-channel weight pockets in front along with non-ditchable weight pockets in back mean that all sizes can hold up to 42 lbs. (19kg)
The Black Ice can be rigged for twin cylinders using the optional twin cylinder kit.
Includes integrated weight pockets

Secures Cylinder - The GripLock Tank Band is a band that is a safe and easy solution for securing a cylinder to a BCD.
Finger-Saver - The innovative Finger-Saver feature makes the GripLock safe by eliminating painful pinched fingers.
Macro-adjustment - The macro-adjustment is set just once until you change to a cylinder with a different diameter. Three presets cover the various diameter. Three presets cover the various diameter cylinders in the field today.
Micro-adjustment - The micro-adjustment can be used for fine-tuning the fit after the band is on the cylinder. If you line up the inside edges of the hook n loop on the micro-adjustable side of the tank band, it will be perfectly set for an AI80 cylinder.
Traction Pad - There are rubber traction pad on the backside of the GripLock that provides added security.
