The intuitive i 3™ will change the way you dive forever. With this innovative technology, a lever helps you control your buoyancy. It’s that simple. It’s diving made easier — take control of yourself.
SAFE The i 3 (patent pending) means that you can take control of your diving. Mastering buoyancy control is one of the most difficult skills to learn. The i 3 not only makes the skill easier but eliminates potential out-of-control-ascents caused by a diver reaching for the wrong dump valve. The i 3 also allows for rapid location & activation of the inflator to establish buoyancy at the surface in case of an emergency. EASY The i 3 is simple & intuitive. Move the lever up to inflate; down to deflate your jacket. CONVENIENT Unlike a traditional inflator at the end of a floppy hose, the i 3 never moves. It is stationary at the same location where your left hand normally rests. It is always in the right place at the right time. RELIABLE The i 3 does not utilize pneumatics or hydraulics to activate the Flat E-Valves. Therefore, there is no possibility of failure due to leaks. Using push-rod technology, as found in aircraft, the design remains simple & robust. FUN The i 3 is just plain fun to use.
Features of i 3:
Integrated i 3 (patent pending) technology for safer & easier control of inflation & deflation One upper & one lower Flat E-Valve keeps the BC streamlined while offering effective & responsive air dumping
