A Scuba Diving Regulator
Whether you're new to scuba diving or a diving nut, you want to be sure the scuba regulator you have is top notch. There are differences in any scuba regulator and tons to consider such as warm water regulators, cold-water models, and ones that will work for any dive. Let's look at what's new, what are musts for diving regulators, and what's a surprising alternative.
What's New in Regulators?
The technologically advanced carbon fiber regulator that was lightweight was introduced in the year 2008. It was compact, yet was able to perform. The second stage case came in sixty five percent lighter than its metal cousins.
The alternate inflator category saw a new star in the Sherwood Gemini model. Renowned for its ease in its breathing features and skilfully designed and placed controls. Other than its lightweight, it is nitrox-ready and is rated “excellent” with moderate breathing rates at both approximately 132 and 165 feet.
Must in Dive Regulators
Durability was what most divers want when it comes to regulators. Like the Sherwood Oasis, a good warm-water regulator, models were tested for durability, service hours, annual servicing, corrosion issues, and peak performance. With the advancement of diving regulators, especially since 2005, most were durable, and like any good piece of equipment, you should follow the manufacturer's recommended care procedures to ensure your model lasts.
The Blizzard, another Sherwood regulator model, is right for cold water dives. Its ability to keep moisture and icing out is only a small part of its many features. It also has a bubble deflector exhaust tee which is exclusive to only this model. It reduces the bubble size which is great for line of vision.
The SR1 by Sherwood boasts a 360-degree swivel that works with both a yoke and DIN attachment. Good for all-weather diving, we were awed at the two high-pressure ports and five low-pressure ports. A top pick for 2008, this scuba regulator had it all, but the 360 degree swivel was impressive and to us-a must.
Alternative Dive Regulators
Alternate inflation regulators exceedingly functional and are integrated into the power inflator, removing the traditional octopus hose. Due to its small housings geared at keeping them ergonomically correct, they were challenging to make. Experts have given the nod to many of these inflation regulators on today’s market, leaving expectations for more advancement in these dive regulator models.
Outcome
We looked at lots of models of dive regulators and we connected most with the Sherwood products, perhaps because they've been at it a while. In any event, a regulator is key to your aqua-lung when diving, so be sure to take the time to talk and ask a lot of questions before you commit to buy. Prices can range from a low $200 to highs at $600 or more. Depending on how serious you are in your scuba diving, your sports store should be able to tell you which ones will perform well for you.
