COOL FACTOR If it were a regulator, we’d call it balanced. Smart science makes it breathe easier. KEY FEATURES The Kapitol Reef is a dry snorkel that breathes more naturally to relax divers and promote better gas exchange in the lungs. It also separates exhaled air from inhaled air, so that snorkelers don’t re-breathe exhaled CO2. This amazing system uses a series of valves to help balance breathing resistance with the surrounding water pressure. The result is less fatigue for inhalation muscles, higher lung volumes and lower levels of anxiety. This Kadence Technology is so relaxing, it typically reduces a user’s breathing rate by 32 percent.
