Did any one notice that Pikes posted back in July and never posted again?
Atomic is the best by far!

Has anyone tried the new M1 series by Atomic?
My local shop has recently brought them into the shop and they are raving about them but I'm hesitant to leave my S600/Jetstream combo.

Rather than throwing them away, please send them to me. I will take them over to the Smithsonian for inclusion in the Pre-Atomic Era Display.

Dive Mistress - personally, I think the only reason your shop is pitching them over ScubaPro is because DiveTech in Brockville is now the ScubaPro distributor across Canada. I think Dan's felt slighted or something.

I know that there is a lot of controversy over the distribution of products in any industry.
I really want some unbiased feedback on how these regs perform in recreational and technical diving.

Ah my 2 good friends in one thread. Boogie my newest, and Divemistress2, my "old grope". tehehhe
The shop I'm sure is pushing them over S/Pro because of pricing/margin I'm sure of it. That's fine, it's a business. My problem is with the exaggerations and fabrications of why "Atomics (today) is the best".
I personally wouldn't be wasting that much money. I also wouldn't be spending a cent on "upgrades" from a S/Pro to and Atomics. Why? Unless I had buckets of cash, the regs that I own will not be replaced until they need to be, not because "there's something different out" this year. For pete's sake it's $1000.00!!!!!!
Unbiased feed back? Atomics is so much like S/Pro (same guys) you would be wasting your bucks. You's be suprised how much like the G250's the M1 2nds are.
Save you bucks for the house DM2

Well well well,
I had no idea gropers were allowed on here?
I know that I can't validate upgrading to the new Atomic's price wise but other than at the shop.
Other than being the latest toy, I haven't heard anything about them. I just wanted to see if there was any merrit to what they are saying.
I love my S600 too much to unload it yet, but I do need another set of regs so that I don't have to keep re-rigging them for DIN vs. Yoke. I may just be forced to unload my single tank and only dive my doubles instead of spending more money.
Having a house makes you broke.

Or just do what I did and get DIN valves for singles. Or DIN/K valves if it was going to be an issue with your yoke-diving friends. Unless it's an ultra hp tank, you should be fine - 232 Bar DIN/K valve = 3400 psi
