GlobalAt Atomic Aquatics, it’s all about the metals. The 316 Stainless Steel used in the ST1 has twice the strength of brass with the durability of Titanium. It delivers virtually the same corrosion resistance as Titanium at a lower price. Environmental experts have classified Stainless Steel as the Green metal of the future because of its strength, ability to resist corrosion and ability to be recycled. The Atomic ST1 is designed to breathe effortlessly at atmospheres below the surface, while helping preserve the atmosphere above.
ST1 Regulator
A breath of environmentally-conscious fresh air.
US$1,499.95
THE WORLD’S ONLY STAINLESS STEEL REGULATOR
Beautifully machined. Beautiful performance. And it keeps the oceans beautiful, too. As the first “Green” regulator ever designed, the ST1 is made of a special grade of 316 Stainless Steel that is 100% recyclable. The ST1 offers superior corrosion-resistance and does not require Chrome or Nickel-plating processes that create environmental concerns.
TITANIUM SECOND STAGE COMPONENTS
While the first stage is a beautiful, bright turned machine finish that will last a lifetime, the ST1 is corrosion-resistant inside and out. The same Titanium second stage components used in the T3 are used in the ST1. Easy breathing is delivered by the patented Titanium Seat Saving Dynamic Orifice and balanced poppet, case and lever design. The ST1 is Nitrox-ready up to 40%.
PATENTED STAINLESS STEEL COMFORT SWIVEL
The ST1 second stage offers the same renowned Atomic Aquatics designs as the T3, including the patented AFC Automatic Flow Control with Rapid Adjustment Knob. A Stainless Steel Comfort Swivel hose allows 30°effortless range of motion without pulling or binding. (US Patent No. 7,188,869)
A BREATH OF FRESH AIR
Environmentally conscious topside natural breathing at depth
The ST1 is another industry first from Atomic Aquatics. The first stage is beautifully machined from a special grade 316 Stainless Steel that is twice the strength of brass with corrosion-resistance approaching Titanium. The use of Stainless Steel means we are doing our part for clean air when divers are out of the water. The legendary Atomic design means divers also breathe easy at depth.

2-YEAR / 300-DIVE SERVICE INTERVAL

How long would it take you to dive 300 dives? You don’t even need to think about servicing the ST1 until then. Metal parts are warranted against corrosion for life. Period. The warranty is NOT contingent on proof of service.
TEST DIVERS SAID: Divers thought the ST1 was one of the “smoothest breathing” regulators of the bunch and gave it the highest ergonomic scores of all the regulators in this review. The comfort swivel helped boost comfort scores and test divers had praise for the user control knob and soft purge cover. This reg also received the highest score for Ease of Breathing and was the only reg rated Excellent by test divers for dryness. When we polled our test divers for their top reg in the price category, the ST1 was a clear Testers’ Choice.
THE ANSTI REPORT: While several regs in this review earned perfect breathing machine scores on our 1 to 5 scale, the ST1 can boast the lowest overall work of breathing in every one of our ANSTI tests.

JULY 2007
En route to earning a Testers’ choice nod in this year’s review, the ST1 proved to be the latest in a long line of top-performing regs from Atomic Aquatics. It’s loaded with all the performance goodies Atomic regs are famous for, plus adds a couple dollops of comfort by way of a well-designed mouthpiece and Atomic’s Comfort Swivel. In the 2007 primary reg review, the ST1 also turned in the lowest work of breathing scores on the ANSTI machine and was named the “smoothest breather of the bunch” by test divers.
