I've managed to select my kit from online searches, but I'm struggling for the reg and octo + 1st stage.
I'm planning to dive recreational in the UK AND the tropics. I think I'll only need a single tank setup. I suppose I'll want to be able to do nitrox, too.
I'm told by everyone and their grandmas that Apeks is the way to go, but when I go on their website, I'm presented with 300 millions regulators (I barely exaggerate) and no real way to differentiate them.
How come for example they are famous for 'working in cold water' yet they manufacture environmentally dry sealed regs specific for cold water, and then flag the others for being 'temperate' water regs? And their 'flight stage' ones are specific to warm waters?
And what if I dive nitrox in the UK, do I need to get a sealed reg that's nitrox specific?
My head hurts... any advice would be much appreciated.
