CTEK 18B Band Mask
Product details
Fiberglass Construction: Features a hand-laid fiberglass frame (yellow) reinforced with carbon fibers, offering a proven, durable structure distinct from the thermoplastic 28B model.
Mixed Gas Certified: Fully tested and certified for use in mixed gas commercial diving as well as shallow water air diving.
SuperFlow® 350 Regulator: Comes standard with this all-metal, fully adjustable regulator, providing low inhalation resistance and high gas flow for easier breathing during hard work.
Secure Hood System: Equipped with BandKeepers® and a redesigned hood, making it impossible for the bands to separate from the mask during operation.
Tri-Valve® Exhaust: Features an advanced exhaust system that retrofits to previous models and offers less breathing resistance than older single-valve exhausts.
Over-the-Shoulder Config: The Side Block Assembly is configured in the "B" style, receiving the umbilical over the shoulder for optimal line management.
CTEK 18B Band Mask
The CTEK 18B Band Mask is a fully tested and certified unit designed for rigorous mixed gas and shallow water commercial diving. It distinguishes itself from the 28B model with its classic hand-laid fiberglass frame (yellow), known for durability and strength.
The mask integrates the high-performance SuperFlow® 350 regulator and the Tri-Valve® exhaust system to ensure low inhalation resistance and a dry interior. With its non-modular communication options and secure BandKeeper® system, the 18B remains a trusted standard for professional divers demanding a traditional fiberglass frame.
