Regulators
Selecting A Regulator
The most important considerations when selecting a regulator are comfort and ease of breathing.
You'll be holding the regulator in your mouth while diving, so choose a regulator that fits comfortably. The weight of the 2nd stage and design of the mouthpiece are two factors that affect comfort.
All regulators sold by reputable dive shops are suitable for diving but differ in their ease of breathing. When possible, try the regulator before you purchase it to ensure it breathes easily and with minimal effort.
High performance regulators are available for divers who plan on diving deep. These regulators have higher airflow rates to compensate for the increased density of air at deeper depths.
