The SBV-1 allows a diver to easily breathe air directly into the Oral/Nasal Cavity of a full-face mask without the risk of CO2 buildup, mask fogging or needing to force exhalation to overcome the resriction of second stage exhaust valve.
The SBV-1 design allows divers to stand fully operational on the surface without reducing their gas supply.
The SBV-1 is available for most full-face masks. The low profile of the SBV-1 reduces the chance of an entanglement.
The SBV-1 is designed for divers utilizing a full-face mask. It is perfect for public safety divers that dress en route to a call.
A diver can arrive fully dressed, mask on, ready to enter the water.
Backup and 90% divers can maintain a ready position with the mask on, instead of placing the mask on only in the event of an emergency.
This reduces the possibility of a backup diver rushing, placing the mask on improperly and not maintaining a seal, wasting precious time during potential life-or-death situation.
For instructors, the SBV-1 saves time and energy by allowing them to talk through the SBV-1 and not having to remove their mask.
There is only one moving part. Simply freshwater rinse the SBV-1 along with the full-face mask. Periodically grease the "O" rings, and you're done!
