The FRX100 VA Vacuum Housing features the Fantasea Hybrid Vacuum Safety System (included with the housing), which contains both a pre-dive vacuum check and an on-dive leak detector. The system allows confirming the watertight seal of the housing prior to the dive using the vacuum system and monitoring the housing seal during the dive using the moisture detector.
The FRX100 VA M16 Housing features an M16 port specially designed for the Fantasea Hybrid Vacuum Safety System. Vacuum safety system is not included with this housing model. It can be ordered separately and easily installed on the housing’s M16 port.
