Dive Rite XT1 First Stage, DIN
When purchased separately, individual regulator stages remain as factory configured by the manufacturer and final integration must, out of necessity, become a customer responsibility.
The Dive Rite XT1 First Stage Regulator is a balanced diaphragm design featuring a next generation of regulator performance at Dive Rite. An elite performer, the XT's advanced, patented design earns top marks from Mike Ward of Dive Lab. With work of breathing at less than 1.0 J/l, the XT performs right alongside premier regulators on the market today. Five low pressure ports and a swivel turret achieves optimal hose routing.Two HP ports are angled 90-degrees from the DIN fitting which gives the perfect angle for the SPG hose routing. All XT1 first stages are environmentally sealed to protect against internal corrosion, contaminants and is suitable for water to { 27°F | -2.78°C }. It comes standard with a 300-BAR DIN connector and is Nitrox Ready.
Please note that when this first stage is sold "raw" as received from the factory and not as part of a package that includes a second stage, it will have four of the five LP ports plugged (i.e. one LP port will be open) and both HP ports will be plugged.

Customer Reviews
Who's Your Buddy... Han?
"Many divers object to being told that diving alone or as part of a loose group is not permitted. Forced to accept a buddy by the operator they are diving with and with the alternative of not being allowed to dive if they refuse, they will simply remain silent. However, they have no intention of taking any notice of their buddy once underwater.
"This often produces one of two results; either the two divers separate early in the dive or one diver follows the other around, unilaterally ensuring they stay together. Both scenarios only serve to create resentment on all sides: there is absolutely no safety benefit at all from applying the buddy system in this way. In fact, given that both divers would be in a much more relaxed frame of mind and fully aware of the actual situation from the start of the dive, it would actually be safer if the buddy system had never been mentioned at all."
