SILENCE

Releasing a fraction amount of bubbles, the Horizon allows divers to explore the "silent world" while observing marine life uninhibited by disturbance of human visitors

A photographer's dream, the unit allows diver to capture moments underwater with ease and calm.

READY FOR ADVANCED DIVERS

The Horizon is scalable to more advanced dives.

Uses the ZH-L16C Bühlmann algorithm with gradient factors, programmable bottom gas and decompression gas, within operational limits (up to 40m) the unit provides, decompression obligations like that of a closed-circuit re-breather.

EASY TO ASSEMBLE AND PREPARE

No tools required, Harness can be fully adjusted to achieve comfort in and out of the water.

Nitrox cylinders can be obtained at the dive center on reaching your destination, so you do not have to bring your own.

No prepacked scrubber cartridges required - scrubber canisters can be re-filled by the diver at the destination.

AS EASY AS NITROX DIVING.

The gas mix can be changed during the dive time or decrease decompression time.

Checklist and the diver controller guide you through preparing for the dive in minutes

LIGHTWEIGHT

Combined, the Horizon unit and regulators should be fit in a single suitcase, weighing about 38lbs in total.

Packed in a suitcase, the unit should comfortably fit within the standard checked baggage allowance for most airlines

FAIL-SAFE GAS OPERATION

During a total system failure, the unit supplies an open circuit nitrox breathing gas mix, a sophisticated monitoring system informs the diver of how much time remains before they must replace the scrubber material.

CREATES A NATURAL DIVING POSITION

The shape of the Horizon unit provides the ideal, horizontal trim.

The combination of warm air and improved dive position makes breathing natural and effortless.

The specially contoured, ergonomic unit includes a soft backplate, lumbar support, butt plate, and padded harness strap.
