B > VRT second stage.
The VRT second stage is a pneumatically balanced second
stage, witch offers optimum ease of breathing. An addi-
tional adjustment allow the diver to fine tune the Venturi
effect to the dive / diver conditions. The second stage
comes from factory with adjustment Venturi lever in the
minus position.
C > Venturi lever
This lever, located on the side of the second stage
Housing, enables the diver to control the inhalation
Venturi effect. When on the + position, the diver get
maximum Venturi assistance upon initial inhalation, the
air flow is maintained without additional effort.
Important : On the surface to avoid any free flow resul-
ting from surface waves and / or sudden entry in the
water , the diver should keep the lever pushed towards
the front in the - / minus position. This position should be
maintained whenever the second stage is used as an
octopus for a safe second stage.
