Lighter than air...no, but you get the idea: the Mikron is the smallest and lightest regulator in the Aqua Lung collection. Equipped with AquaLungs patented auto-closure device plus a pneumatically balanced second stage, this small but mighty regulator lets you float comfortably through baggage claim and the deep blue alike.
The package contains:
Aqualung Mikron Black, second stage
Aqualung Mikron Octopus
Aqualung Mikron ACD first stage DIN
1st Stage
The reduced size and weight makes the Mikron the ideal choice for travelers. A braided hose provides flexibility, comfort and excellent transportability.
Auto-Closure Device prevents corrosive water out of the first-stage inlet by automatically closing as the core is removed from the cylinder valve. This prevents internal lubrication from washing away and is safer for higher proportions of oxygen.
HP/MP Ports and "T" Shape 2 HP ports (7/16”) and 4 MP ports (3/8”), perfectly oriented in a “T” shape for streamlined hose positioning, reduced exhalation effort, and sending bubbles out of your field of view.

2nd Stage / Octo
The second stages are pneumatically balanced for smooth, easy breathing. The Comfo-Bite mouthpiece is soft yet sturdy and reduces jaw fatigue with its unique palate bridge.
Optimize your opening effort with the “Mini/Maxi” adjustment knob. You can increase the opening effort, ideal for avoiding freeflow at the surface, or lower the inhalation effort, reducing the work of breathing.
The yellow octo hose improves high visibility in case of emergency. Easily distinguishable from your primary hose.
