Features such as the AP31 hose
exhaust – the standard third dump valve which is operated by
pulling on the mouthpiece/inflator assembly – allows simple, one
handed, buoyancy control throughout the dive. The front mounted
on/off cylinder valve offers further ergonomic advantage - being
easy to locate and operate with either hand - for emergency buoyancy or
emergency breathing in conjunction with either the AP200 Inflator or the
superb Auto Air - Inflator / Emergency spare-air regulator.
The new Pioneer TD also includes all the
innovations now standard to its sport equivalent:
New Schaeffer TM

New

An Emergency
Net Cutter stowed in its own pocket.
New
