Subgear release new regulator line
Performance and Passion – The new SG Regulator Line with innovative Optimal Flow Design Valve
“The new regulator line offers a high performance system with a modern design at an unbeatable price. The applied technology ensures natural effortless breathing – whether diving in tropical or in ice cold waters. Our technicians have no doubt that the new SG range sets a new standard in SUBGEAR regulator technology.”
Georg Fraunhofer, Technical Manager
OFD: The OptimalFlowDesignTechnology
Uncompromised Airflow:
The innovative OFD valve reduces the air flow resistance, delivering an impressive work of breathing effort in comparison to the downstream valve. As the air flow is directed around and not through the spring any air resistance is eliminated resulting in an optimal air flow.
Perfect for the cold and rough:
The lever fixation is located in the poppet centre, offering the ideal technology for cold water diving.
High Flow Rate:
The poppet stroke is up to 3.5mm and guarantees the optimal air flow.
Optimal Venturi Effect:
The shape of the diaphragm was designed to fit the high airflow due the poppet’s stroke. The result is a perfect venturi effect.
Reduced Work of Breathing due to the Advanced Design
Take a look at the housing shape: Due the lower position of the diaphragm center compared to the mouthpiece centre, the hydrostatic pressure is increased. This has a positive benefit during the inhalation phase. The work of breathing in the vertical position has been reduced.
Furthermore there is no venturi vane in the mouthpiece area; this means no cross section reduction. The air can flow directly to the mouth, without obstruction. The Venturi effect is eliminated due the angle of inflow.
“As we developed the SG50, we wanted to create a system that made diving more fun. I think it is safe to say that we have achieved this. Thanks to the power flow downstream valve we can offer a smooth and natural feeling air flow in a compact system. The balanced diaphragm 1st stage with a dry chamber guarantees a reliable system suitable for every diving environment. We added the stainless steel casing as an exceptional product deserves a beautiful finish.”
Corrado Cominetti, Research & Development Manager

Introducing the SP Neoprene Suit from DYNAMICNORD
Maximum freedom of movement and outstanding comfort
The SP series neoprene suits deliver incredible diving comfort to even the most demanding divers. Fabulous style included. Designed and engineered in Germany.
The smart 3D cut and the pre-shaped arms and legs not only ensure flexibility and a perfect fit, but also help you slip into the suit with ease. Cuffs on the arms and legs guarantee perfect sealing, which is further enhanced by the flap on the back zipper.
Zippers at the wrists and ankles provide additional comfort and ensure easy donning and doffing. The small neck zipper adds another layer of comfort.
The neoprene ribs in the back of the knees and crook of the arms are unique. The clever concept ensures optimum comfort when bending the arms or legs.
Shoulder and knee protectors protect the suit in high-wear areas. The small computer safety strap holds the device in place. The SP suit series is available for men and women in 5 & 7mm and offers a wide range of sizes including numerous intermediate sizes.
Every day, DYNAMICNORD works to keep its environmental impact as low as possible. Only the best available neoprene is used for the SP series of neoprene suits. It goes without saying that the neoprene is made from limestone. It is sourced from nature and has less negative impact on the environment. Furthermore, Carbon Black, one of the main components of neoprene, is pyrolysed from used tires. This reduces energy consumption and cuts CO₂ emissions by 200 grams per neoprene suit. Innovative dyeing machines reduce water and energy consumption during production by 60%.
DYNAMICNORD’s R&D department is constantly testing recycled materials and other next-generation sustainable components to become even more eco-friendly in all areas.
The different models in the SP series are now available from DYNAMICNORD dealers and in the online store.
SRPs incl. VAT:
SP suit 7mm: £504.00
SP suit 5mm: £440.00
Sizes:
Women: XS-2XL, ST, MT, LT, M+, L+, XL+, 2XL+
