Aqua Lung Core Yoke Regulator, ABS Octopus, BCD Hose, Akona Carrying Bag
The Core is a great regulator - light, compact and robust, and breathes very well. The high quality set up is in nice used condition with a plug in the high-pressure hose port where you will attach your pressure gauge or computer. Removed from a working environment and properly maintained by dive professionals. You should have it inspected/serviced before using it.
The Akona carrying bag is in poor shape with 2 long rips in the outer fabric below the carrying handle (photo 14), worn but still functional.
The Core Regulator was originally $499 + Octopus $199 + hoses and Akona carrying bag $82 = $780 when new.
All 3 are in similar shape.

Core Regulator ($499)
When comparing performance with price, Core bubbles up to the top. Rated as superior on the Ansti breathing machine and equipped with our unique Comfo-Bite mouthpiece, this feature-rich winner is the best value of any regulator on the market. Comes standard with Aqua Lung's patented auto-closure device (ACD) for sealing water out.
First Stage
- 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
- Balanced Diaphragm A balanced diaphragm provides superior, consistent performance
- Yoke (3,300psi/232 bar max.) - This is NOT a DIN (4,350psi/300 bar max.) version
- 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
- Up to EAN 40 Compatible with up to EAN 40 right out of the box
Second Stage
- Comfo-Bite Comfo-Bite mouthpiece is soft yet sturdy and reduces jaw fatigue with its unique palate bridge
- Pneumatically Balanced Pneumatically balanced for smooth, easy breathing
- Venturi Knob Easy control: the in-line ergonomic Venturi knob lets you make precise adjustments, even while wearing gloves
