Reg Decision

[Toolbox-13]

Hello,
It's time to get a new Reg and I think I got it down to 2 the Genesis GS2000 or the Mares Proton Metal anyone dive either of these to let me know how you like them or dislike them Thanks

The genesis is not all too common, and Mares is usually pretty good. Haven't used with though.

My buddy has the Mares and I have the Proton Ice.....He loves it. It was hard to change from the Sherwood I had to the Ice but I like that one too. I would go with the Mares.

I'd go with Mares. The proton metal is a new reg, but if it follows the rep of the proton ice, it's a very nice reg. Personally, I'd get an abyss over a proton metal, mainly because I like the full size reg, and the abyss is a renouned performer. You can also get it cheaper than the proton ice....check out www.diversdirect.com, or www.scubatoys.com

Just Bought the V16 Proton metal/proton octo, havn't dived with it yet but I hope I made the right choice too. I was swayed my it's commonality.

If you don't care about the metal - you can get the v16 proton in plastic for under 200 bucks... I don't really feel it's worth the extra 100 or so to go with the metal... but some people prefer it.

The one thing the GS2000 gives you is adjustability - that's a personal preference if you want it - but either way, they are both pretty good regs.
