Poseidon Cyklon 1st stage
Cyklon even more experienced than you…
A regulator must possess a set of functions which are unaffected by the different
environments it will see during its lifetime. Examples of these functions include
inhalation resistance, exhalation bubble distraction, noise and leak tightness – to
name just a few. Different environments such as cylinder pressure, diving attitude,
depth, temperature, gas, type of water, the diver can have an effect on these
functions.
When a new regulator is released on the market, it has to pass the EN 250 test.
This test represents one single environment; the manufacturer may have
managed to test perhaps another hundred such situations, which is good but not
necessarily enough. Only after years and years of actual use by divers around the
world will the manufacturer collect all the information which can guarantee a perfect
performance under all circumstances. This of course, takes time…
The Poseidon Cyklon Junior was introduced in 1958. In small steps, it has been
gradually improved every year, based on both divers’ experiences and technological evolution.
The expression “been there – done that” applies to The Poseidon Cyklon more
than any other regulator on the market.
