Opinion on a Regulator Switch

[GLENFWB]

I need someone that is familiar with Atomic and Dive Rite to give me an opinion on this. I am heading to the Galapagos Islands in June. My open water regulator is an Atomic B2 first and second stage. I have had this recently serviced and is ready to go. My problem is with my Octopus, to put it mildly....it sucks. It is my old original open water Aeris regulator. It breathes hard and sometimes wet.

So the question is. I need two good regulators for this trip. I would like to take one of my sidemount regs, a Dive Rite RG2500 and use it as my backup regulator for this trip. Does anyone know if the Atomic first stage will work adequately with the RG2500? Would you trust an Atomic first stage paired with a RG2500?

Yes and yes.

Have to agree with Ruselle.

I've used atomic 1sts with several seconds, all worked well.

Thanks Russell

Yes and yes.

We sell both Atomic and Dive Rite. The Dive Rite is set up to work within the Atomic specs, so you should have no problems.
Take care,

It's all about !st stage intermediate pressure...if the two first stages intermediate pressure are within 5 psi or so, give or take, the second stage should require little or no adjustment. DR 1st stages are adjustable, with a hex wrench and a ip gauge, don't think Atomics are.

Atomics are not. They use spacers to adjust the IP. Glen, it will work, or you could avoid tainting you SM regs with salt and get a DR octo from Edd. And must you keep bringing up that trip??

Actually if I can find someone to dive with this weekend around the Mill Pond I might just do that. If not, guess I will just see you Rob when I get back from the Galapagos Islands....Oh, did I say that again???

Glen, are you going on a trip somewhere?
