View Full Version : Regulator?
45thParallel January 10th, 2003, 12:49 AM Can anyone suggest a good regulator for depth and use of Nitrox? Is it possible to buy any regulator and then have it set up for nitrox? aamalcolm January 10th, 2003, 02:33 AM I am happy with the performance of my Apek TX50 regs and don't notice any reduction in breathing resistance at depth. All are supplied from the factory ready for use with mixtures up to EAN40 and can easily be oxygen cleaned if you want to use higher percentage mixes. JT2 January 10th, 2003, 03:16 AM Almost all quality regs come from the factory ready for up to EAN40, and can be O2 cleaned for pure O2 with the exception of some of the regs made of titanium. I'm assuming you have not taken a nitrox class yet, as these things should have been covered in a basic nitrox class. May I ask what type of diving are you currently doing, and what reg do you use now?

Wreck/Tec January 12th, 2003, 07:48 PM I'm going to say it........................ POSEIDON JETSTREAM For depth and breathing well, NEVER, leave home with out them ! Wreck/Tec Dingo January 14th, 2003, 06:10 PM Divex is good if you vant lot's of gas. detroit diver January 15th, 2003, 12:26 AM Dingo once bubbled... Divex is good if you vant lot's of gas. That's a new one to me. Is that a European brand? Who is the parent company? icediver January 17th, 2003, 10:13 AM ElectricZombie once bubbled... ScubaPro Mk25 or Mk16 1st Stages ScubaPro S600, G250, 550 Primary ScubaPro R380 Backup Great regs, all you will ever need. Good choices. I would go with the MK16 as it has one less failure point (no swivel). You could also use a R190 for back up (same as R380) but cheaper.:D Terry Rush January 17th, 2003, 12:31 PM I like my Zeagle Flathead VI / ZX and my Scubapro MK25 / S600. Both of these have been good breathers at depth. drizzt117 January 17th, 2003, 12:33 PM All regs mentioned will do you good, but my vote would have to go to the ATX200, but any of the Apeks regs will work. They're also not as expensive as Scubapro, if that's a concern. Thomas Waterborne January 18th, 2003, 09:51 AM Wreck/Tec once bubbled... I'm going to say it........................ POSEIDON JETSTREAM For depth and breathing well, NEVER, leave home with out them ! Wreck/Tec I'm in total agreement with the poseidon part. I dive the cycklons though. My buddy has the odins and he loves them. I used them and if I ever replace my cyklons I will get the odins. Fiscus January 20th, 2003, 08:14 PM Divex is Swedish, a good cold water reg. Quite expensive though. I dive Aqualung Glacia`s as a primary and on my pony. Work fine in extremely cold waters, right now we`re diving in sea at 3 degrees Celcius, and no sign of freezing or what so ever. Use them with nitrox as well. DocRCH January 20th, 2003, 08:20 PM I would vote for any of the Scubapro balanced regs and the Apex balanced regs. The Abysmal is a Posiedon 1st and a Morgan-Kirby 2nd. It also is a balanced rig. Robert:doctor: Amphibious January 20th, 2003, 10:41 PM Picking up a pair of MK16's for doubles. using the R190 as my back up. any thought on complications if I put an ATX50 2nd stage as my primary? I'm sure I can tinker it - just wanted to know if any one else has done this. Will
