Atomic Z3 Regulator

The “Z” designation in Atomic Z3 Regulator is represented by the use of Zirconium as plating material for the precision machined Brass valve body. Atomic developed a Zirconium over Chrome over Brass plating process to deliver corrosion-resistance 3-4 times that of conventional chrome plating. The Z Series second stage lever, orifice and spring are Titanium.

The Z Series is Atomic's most compact and economical regulator system. But its rare combination of performance, ergonomics and materials is unmatched by competitors at any price. The Z Series gives divers the assurance of the same Limited Lifetime Warranty as all Atomic regulators.

The Best Regulators Ever Designed

How materials and passion come together for perfect dives

At Atomic we sometimes feel like a symphony conductor – bringing together exotic materials, groundbreaking design, and superior manufacturing in perfect harmony. The result is our signature line of regulators that are widely considered the finest ever designed by independent reviewers and passionate divers across the globe. So how do we do it? There are no real secrets here...we are an open book and want you to see for yourself why Atomic regulators are the finest ever to submerge. No other company has the courage or determination to put all these elements together as we have. Take a look...

“Compromise” Is A Word We Don’t Know

Titanium is uncompromising...and nobody uses it like Atomic

There is simply no better material for the ocean environment than Titanium. A Titanium regulator part could actually survive beneath the sea for centuries without a trace of corrosion. Atomic heavily invested in the people, machinery and time needed to develop new fabrication techniques at our own USA R&D facilities. If you see other companies claiming “Titanium” regulators, closely investigate. They do not employ these materials as thoroughly or effectively as Atomic Aquatics. You will see on the following pages exactly which parts in every Atomic regulator are machined from Titanium and why they excel.

Atomic wins the regulator trifecta:

Natural performance – low maintenance – stunning appearance

The ultimate test of any regulator is how it breathes. Atomic Aquatics designed “natural breathing” into every regulator model, regardless of materials or price. Just because we design a regulator using different materials to achieve a lower price-point, does not mean we compromise on performance. Every review or independent test an Atomic regulator has been involved in has concluded with a top ranking. Superior performance is inherent in every Atomic model at any dive depth or breathing rate. Our use of corrosion-resistant materials also results in much lower maintenance requirements for divers. We stand behind this claim with our 2-Year/300 Dive Warranty (see details on pages 10-11). Finally, beautiful appearance is an Atomic imperative. Every time you pull your Atomic reg from its bag, you will be proud of its technologically-superb appearance...and other divers may take an envious glance. Our plating processes and machine-turned finishes produce an immediately recognizable distinction.
