Stop destroying your eardrums when you compensate! The Dry Gauge is designed for both scuba divers and freedivers (and spearfishers!). It allows you to measure the pressure you exert when you compensate, and thus learn how to reduce it.
Indeed, a majority of divers and freedivers exert far too much pressure on their eardrums. This leads to discomfort, pain, and even long-term hearing loss. For example, we have found that most scuba divers (using Vasalva to compensate) instinctively exert more than 70mm of mercuryi.e more than triple the pressure needed.
The Dry Gauge will allow you to measure the pressure you are exerting, and train yourself to reduce it.
More than 50mm of mercury? NOT GOOD!!!
15 to 20 mm of mercury: your eardrums will thank you!
2-3mm of mercury: Is it very likely that you are using BTV to compensate? If not… think about it, because it seems that you have a predisposition!
The plastic nose clips are too big, too heavy, and move when you fin too fast.
The aluminum ones are beautiful but stiff and uncomfortable
…then this nose clip is for you!
Slim, discreet, comfortable and with minimal hydrodynamic drag, it was born from personal frustration and designed for demanding freedivers.
Its minimalist shape generates very low drag, which prevents the nose clip from moving if you fin too fast (monofin sprinters will understand!). The ultra-soft cushions, meanwhile, provide unparalleled comfort for an aluminum nose clip.
Cushions with unique comfort
We have particularly worked on the density and shape of the cushions of our nose clip, so that they have a grip and above all a comfort that you will not find anywhere else.
One silhouette, for all body types
Small nose or large nose, the curved silhouette of its cushions also allows it to adapt to all kinds of body shapes: simply tilt the nose clip to suit you.

The dry trainer, derived from the Otovent, is a great classic for freedivers who want to train dry to improve their compensation. It is essential for discovering, understanding and then strengthening the mechanisms that allow good compensation in apnea (Frenzel, Fatah mouthfill, etc.)
The STA Tic Tac is the very first freediving computer dedicated to static apnea.
Its commercialization is planned for 2025
The STA Tic Tac was born out of frustration: Static apnea training exercises are repetitive and plannable (O2 and CO2 tables in particular). Rolling out such tables during a session requires the instructor or coach:
to juggle between two stopwatches (apnea time and surface time)
to increment or decrement times and store the corresponding values
while remaining focused on his students and possibly his own performance
All of this makes it more difficult to relax and ensure the session runs smoothly.
To address this, the STA Tic Tac has a catalog of sessions that can be adapted to both beginners and competitors. In addition, it is possible to modify these sessions or replace them with your own routines.
Once in the water, all you have to do is choose the session and let yourself be guided, in complete relaxation.
The “STA Tic Tac” static apnea computer comes with a wide range of customizable exercises. But perhaps you'd like even more? A new exercise? Unique ringtones?
As the computer is developed in-house, it is possible to adapt it to a particular need, so don't hesitate to ask!
