for SCUBA divers
The Air Buddy
It's time to switch from the old fashioned second stage octopus
to the modern Air Buddy. U.S. and foreign patents.
It was also featured at other diving shows such as the prestigious
"Beneath The Sea" show in New Jersey and "Ocean Fest" in Florida. Now you will find it being used throughout the U.S.A., Japan, Palau, Canada, Mexico, Truk, South Africa, Egypt, Iceland, Germany, Italy, Korea, Okinawa, Great Britain, The West Indies, United Arab Emirates, Sweden, Israel, Brazil, Columbia, Australia and many more dive sites.
As advertised in the PADI "Undersea Journal" 
.
The Air Buddy is a miniature regulator second stage from which all the complicated and delicate parts have been removed, leaving only one moving part, the tilt valve. In a normal second stage, inhaling causes the diaphragm to move inward, pressing a lever which opens the needle valve allowing air from the low pressure hose to flow into your mouth. We replaced the needle valve with a heavy duty tilt valve in the Air Buddy. To open the tilt valve in the Air Buddy, you simply squeeze the mouthpiece with a biting movement of your mouth.
That releases the air from the low pressure hose, giving you PPAS. Positive Pressure Air Source means that your mouth will be flooded with air at a higher pressure than that of the water around you, no matter what your depth may be, gently forcing the water out of your mouth and allowing you to breathe. The air comes to you as slightly above ambient pressure no matter what your depth. You stop the air by relaxing your pressure on the mouthpiece.
The Air Buddy comes in three convenient forms.
. 
It comes mounted on a low pressure Octopus Hose to be mounted on your regulator first stage, replacing the old fashioned "second stage" model octopus. That's the Air Buddy on the yellow hose, above.
It comes mounted on a quick connect mechanism that snaps onto the power inflator or your BCD, as shown below. It is shown in use in the picture on the left
 |
It comes with a swivel adapter ( at left) to mount directly onto a regulator 1st stage to use for a super pony bottle. | |
| To the right you see an Air Buddy mounted on a regulator first stage to use on a pony bottle. That is the Air Buddy marked #1. The Air Buddy safety valve that come with it at no addtional charge is #2. Number 3 is an accessory button pressure gauge. |  |
