Ok, I am glad to see all the interest, thank you. The new line is up on the website, here goes.
We have added an Abyss 42 to the line, so now there is the Abyss 22 & Abyss 42, also the Proton 42. (Abyss 42 in Jan., Abyss 22 in late Feb.)
The 42 1st stage is smaller/lighter than the 22. The 22 all of you know, is a workhorse, very durable & reliable. If you are traveling a few times per year to dive, then the 42, if you are diving more often, all year than the 22 (which will have a face lift on the new version).
Neither comes with an environmental kit, but it is availible as an option. The 22 has an oil filled kit, the 42 has a dry kit.
The Abyss 2nd has a face lift also, but performance is still the same, just a more modern look. Note to Greg B., we do listen the new Abyss has the port to make adjustments without removing the cover. Same between the Abyss & Proton 2nd as stated above. Both have great performance. If you are traveling and diving a few times per year, the Proton is smaller and lighter. The Abyss will be the more durable, everyday workhorse.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving (even for our Int'l. friends).
Regards,
Phil
