What does 'overbalanced' mean?
An overbalanced first stage increases the intermediate (medium) pressure it delivers as you descend, so your second stage keeps breathing easily at depth. Combined with the N1's environmental seal, it's built for demanding deep and technical diving.
Is the N1 Stealth environmentally sealed?
Yes — the N1 is environmentally sealed as standard. Salt, grit and water are kept out of the spring chamber, giving cold-water and any-depth reliability and protecting the internals over the long term.
Why a 360° turret with five LP ports?
The rotating turret lets hoses exit at the perfect angle no matter how you mount the regulator, and five low-pressure ports give you room for a primary, backup, BCD inflator, drysuit inflator and more — ideal for technical and sidemount configurations.
