Scuba Regulators, Scuba Regs
Picking out the right Scuba Regulator can sometimes be a daunting task. There are many features on scuba regulators that you may want to consider. First off, scuba regulators are divided into Piston and Diaphragm regulators. While honestly, there is not a major difference, people doing cold water (below 40 degrees F) normally prefer a diaphragm scuba regulator as they are easier to freeze proof with an envirironmental kit.
Other options that can vary on scuba regulators is whether the second stage (the part that goes in your mouth) has and adjustment on it. An adjustable scuba regulator gives you the option to tune the regulator to have an easier inhalation effort during your dive.
Another feature that varies among scuba regulators is swivels. Some folks complain about the hose pull with a regulator, and a swivel either on the first stage (the part that hooks on to the tank) or the second stage can help cut down on the amount of hose pull you experience with your scuba regulator.
You will see a huge variance in prices on scuba regulators, and besides features, that is caused by the Performance of the regulator. A high performance regulator will breathe virtually the same at 260 feet as it does at 30 feet. If you are doing recreational depths, most your dives in the 60 - 100 foot max range, then really any of todays regulators will get the job done for you.
