Best Regulator for the price

[Tegg]

Hey you cant yell at me, 90% of my gear is Dive Rite...its your buddy Joe that has gone to the dark side...Apeks Regs and DUI Drysuit, who does he think he is? Irvine or something?

No, no one could ever be as good as Irvine. You know that...

Come on Joe, stop this whole jealousy over the Technical Cave Diver cert that I have....I dont make fun of your "Internet Cave Diver" cert that you have aquired....I know you have to have over 300 posts to get it

You're just jealous of all the internet cavediving hotties that I get...

BTW, the Silver Dollar has some hot women waitin' on you to come back...

I've used quite a few regs, from Scubapro Pilot to Sherwood Brut and then some.

I was using some Oceanic Delta3/CDX5s for a while until I got a chance to use the DiveRite RG2500 set. It's phenomenally better than most regs out there for the price (Street Price ~ $325).

okay well it looks like most ppl like these Dive Rite regs but there even more than a Poseidon, and I know how well poseidons work. I might end up going that way...

Why don't you do yourself a favor and test some regs?

This way you see for yourself how they breathe and what you like?

I know at Cave Excursions they have Diverite regs that he will let you try... and a lot of people have Apeks regs , I am sure one would let you borrow one... and then also find a poseidon.

Seriously... might as well get the right one, the first time.

A good regulator is one that is reliable and has low work of breathing. You can not get much better than an Apex TX40 for work of breathing, the TX50 is not quite so good as the 'dial a breath' on the second stage does affect work of breathing very very slightly.
As to reliability, well we have 4 TX50s which have been trouble free for the past 7 years.

Thats a brilliant idea, thanx tegg. I know of some ways i can get some test dives in with other regs before i buy them, ill look into all theses regs you guys are mentioning. im sure ill find something better than what i have.

I've been diving Atomics B1s and M1s since '98 or '99. I've never had any issues regardless of depth. They breathe great and only require servicing every 2 years. I, personally, do mine once a year. They are a little pricey though. If you're going to side mount you will need to get the cave rings as well.

Recently, I dived Edds DR regs and they had the same performance as my Atomics and they cost less. Not going to sell the Atomics just point of fact.

What are cave rings?

Cave Ring.... that would be a ring that is lost in the cave. Then you have to go home to the wife and tell her that you lost a ring.
