Atomic Aquatics Reveals Its Team Picks for Scuba Diving Gear

Atomic Aquatics has picked out three pieces of scuba diving equipment that its team considers standouts from its current range: the ST1 Regulator, BC2 BCD and Full Foot SplitFin.

The selection covers three key areas of a diver’s equipment setup, with each product offering a different approach to performance, practicality and design.

Atomic Aquatics ST1 Regulator

The Atomic Aquatics ST1 Regulator is built around 316 stainless steel, with the material chosen for its corrosion resistance and recyclability.

Atomic Aquatics also points to the regulator’s breathing performance, including its ability to deliver an easy breathing experience at depth.

The use of stainless steel gives the ST1 a distinctive appearance while also providing the durability expected from a regulator designed for regular diving.

Atomic Aquatics BC2 BCD

The Atomic Aquatics BC2 BCD takes a different approach, with a focus on quick drying and ease of use.

Its water-shedding fabric is designed to release water rapidly, meaning the BCD can be virtually dry only seconds after a diver surfaces.

The BC2 also features Atomic Aquatics’ patented EX-LOK Weight Release System and a ratcheting CAM-LOK tank band, both designed to make setting up the BCD straightforward.

For divers who regularly travel with their equipment, features that make a BCD quicker and easier to handle can make a difference both before and after getting in the water.

Atomic Aquatics Full Foot SplitFin

The third selection is the Atomic Aquatics Full Foot SplitFin, designed around efficient kicking and propulsion.

The split-fin design is intended to make kicking easier while providing strong propulsion through the water. Atomic Aquatics also says the fins can help reduce air consumption by making propulsion more efficient, potentially allowing divers to spend more time underwater.

The full-foot design gives the fins a slightly different feel from traditional open-heel scuba fins and makes them particularly suited to divers looking for a simple, lightweight fin setup.

Three Different Approaches to Scuba Gear

Taken together, the three team picks demonstrate how different pieces of diving equipment can be designed around specific aspects of the diving experience.

The ST1 focuses on regulator construction and breathing performance, the BC2 combines practical features with a quick-drying design, while the Full Foot SplitFin is aimed at efficient movement through the water.

For divers looking at new equipment, the three products also cover some of the most important components of a standard scuba setup: regulator, BCD and fins.

Atomic has invited divers to explore its range and share their own experiences of its equipment using the hashtags #AtomicAquatics and #BestinScuba.

The company’s team picks provide a useful starting point for divers considering new equipment, whether they are upgrading an existing setup or putting together gear for their next diving adventure.
