First Stage V1 ICE - EN250A

Balanced diaphragm regulator with asymmetric V-hose layout, dry chamber, and optimized trim for single-tank configurations.

The Tecline V1 ICE First Stage, available at DIR-STORE, represents a true geometric revolution in the world of diving regulators. Featuring a patented design with "V" shaped port arrangement, this first stage was developed to offer exceptionally clean, aerodynamic hose routing, free from forced bends on single-tank systems. This particular inclination allows the diver to maintain a comfortable "Head Up" position, significantly improving hydrodynamics and trim in the water. It far exceeds the stringent breathing and safety parameters required by the recent European standard EN250A for cold and extreme water diving.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Exclusive "V" Geometric Layout: The inclination of the ports is designed to allow hoses to run parallel to the body and tank profile. This drastically reduces bulk behind the neck, eliminates tension on the mouth, and allows for unprecedented head mobility.
• Balanced Diaphragm Technology: Ensures constant intermediate pressure and exceptionally smooth, effortless air delivery at any depth and regardless of residual tank pressure.
• Maximum Freeze Protection (ICE): Equipped as standard with a dry chamber isolated from the external environment and integrated with an additional cooling kit. Prevents water and sediment from coming into contact with the main spring, eliminating the risk of free-flow in icy waters.
• Heavy-Duty Marine Grade Materials: The body, weighing a solid 813g, is entirely machined from marine bronze to ensure optimal thermal conductivity, absolute structural robustness, and total corrosion resistance.
• Available Ports: Features 4 low-pressure (LP) ports and 2 high-pressure (HP) ports strategically positioned for clean configuration of the primary second stage, octopus, BCD hose, and dry suit hose.
  

Why buy the V1 ICE first stage?

• Impeccable hose routing on single tanks: It is by far the best first stage for single-tank configurations, as it allows all hoses to be routed downwards naturally, mimicking the visual cleanliness and hydrodynamics of an advanced technical system.
• Unique postural comfort (Head Up): If you suffer from neck tension or if the regulator constantly touches the back of your head during the dive, the V-geometry definitively solves the problem, leaving you maximum freedom of vision.
• Certified safety in icy waters: The total thermal insulation system makes it the perfect ally for diving under ice, in alpine lakes, or in severe marine depths.
