Cressi GALAXY T10sc CROMO

Version technically identical to the T10 Master, but with a pleasing and durable satin chrome finish on the first stage and a brushed stainless steel cap on the second stage.

Performance, ergonomic reliability, and ease of maintenance make this regulator a product for true diving professionals. Instructors, guides, dive operators, and researchers will find the answer they need in the Master Ellipse. The first stage stands out from the range of Cressi balanced diaphragm regulators because the mechanism is arranged on an axis perpendicular to the axis of air entry, creating a "T" shape. The advantages of this particular design include better arrangement of the hoses and less space occupied (especially in SC versions for cold water). What's more, this makes it remarkably easy to inspect and access the mechanism to improve maintenance and calibration operations, it uses a larger, high-efficiency conical filter, and the valves are arranged more easily on the tank. The metal body is protected on the surface by a special treatment called PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition), which compared to traditional chrome coatings is exceptionally resilient to the mechanical and chemical wear caused by dives. The DIN fitting has a generous metallic handwheel to make it easier to use in extreme conditions. The Master Ellipse second stage has installed the exceptional and proven Cressi balanced valve to ensure minimum inhalation effort. This valve is paired with a body with metallic parts treated in PVD. What's more, the knob for adjusting inhalation effort is made of a metallic material to guarantee reliability and resistance to blows and scratches.

1st Stage R10sc Chrome:

• Hyper-compensated diaphragm mechanism in line with a number of optimized elements for maximum reliability, durability and reduced maintenance costs.
• The mechanism’s hyper-compensation guarantees a light increase in the intermediate pressure as the pressure in the tank decreases.
• Therefore the regulator delivers the maximum level of performance in the final phases of the dive, which are undoubtedly the most critical.
• Completely waterproof base, isolating the mobile mechanism from the exterior environment.
• The thickness of the walls has been optimized to greatly reduce its total size and weight (490 g in the DIN version).
• A satin chrome coating protects the 1st stage from shocks and erosion.
• The polyurethane valve, very mechanically resistant, both to oils and to hyperoxic mixtures.
• HP seat in AISI316 stainless steel.
• The saddle composition, much harder than that of the traditional fixed brass ones, prolongs its life. It makes it more resistant to the deformation caused by metal micro particles that can infiltrate from the tank.
• In addition to that, in case of deterioration it can be substituted during maintenance.
• Advanced research on internal air circulation and an exclusive distribution chamber that channels the air volume directly to the LP ports has reduced the minimum pressure drop levels in labored breathing (0.5 BAR), guaranteeing high performance in any situation.
• Conical filter, especially effective with its flange design. Large effective filtration surface, as the base and sides of the cylinder work with a surface of 280 mm2. Inserted with no circlip necessary, as it remains anchored thanks to the valve connection nut.
• Isolation and SC (Sealed Chamber) anti-freeze kit.
• Completely isolates the diaphragm and the spring from contact with the water, making it ideal for use in extremely low temperatures because it reduces the risk of freezing in extreme conditions.
• New ultra flexible hose covered in thermoplastic rubber to guarantee resistance to erosion.
• Hyperbalanced diaphragm with Watertight chamber
• 2 HP 7/16 UNF ports
• 4 MP 3/8 UNF ports
• Operating pressure: 300 bar (4350 psi) DIN Version, 232 bar (3365 psi) International version
• Calibration pressure: 10 bar
• Body coated with PVD process
• High-capacity conical filter in chemically nickel-plated spherical bronze
• Removable nozzle in AISI 316 steel
• Hyperbalancing system
• Anti-pressure drop pneumatic spring
• Stainless steel calibration spring with micropeening treatment
• Low-friction technopolymer slider shaft
• Body protection in polyurethane thermoplastic
• Quantity of air supplied: 4500 l/min
• Weight, INT version: 720 gr
• Weight, DIN version: 602 gr

2nd Stage Galaxy

• Over-sized intake diaphragm for smoother breathing, the best of its kind: 2810 mm2, 12% more than the high range models offered by competitors. Contact plate with Teflon coated cam to reduce friction.
• The box has a hinged opening, no tools needed.
• Ultralight high range 2nd stage with a mixture of semi-flexible sound-absorbing engineering plastics. Smaller size, 7.5 x 6 cm, only 5% more than the Ellipse and the lightest of all compensator models on the market at just 182 g.
• Deflector Dive-Predive without metal parts to personalize the Venturi effect.
• Wide angle pivot cam, enhanced to precisely transmit the inhalation effort with minimum friction with the diaphragm disc. Cam-disc diaphragm-valve mechanism with unprecedented reduced friction.
• Cold-heat exchanger located inside the second stage to prevent the air from freezing when diving in cold waters.
• Exhalation effort particularly reduced without having to reduce the thickness of the diaphragm.
• The design of the membrane retention system directs the 100% channeled flow towards the nozzles of the bow, taking advantage of a strong Venturi effect. Also, it works to direct the bubbles away from the diver’s field of vision.
• Embedded membrane to avoid water infiltration in case of brisk turns or jumps to enter the water.
