When divers talk about regulators they are usually talking about a complete set of regulators which is typically made up of a first stage, hoses, a second stage, a redundant second stage (normally referred to as an Octopus) and an instrument console (which can include pressure gauge, depth gauge, compass or possibly a dive computer)
All of these components can be bought individually but manufacturers match suitable elements together to create pre-assembled packs to meet a number of uses and environments that both recreational and technical divers typically find themselves in.

I’ve been diving the Atomic ST-1since 2019. Love it. Good for cold dives (about 46° F). Never had a freeze up.
my 43 year old Dacor Pacer 900's still RULE and its a cryin shame that they are no longer made !
I do love this video, I chose the abyss as my FIRST reg set. along with Mission Puck 2, MV Octo. I just used it for 25 dives, Great set, Breathing out of the abyss was easier than breathing normally. great reg. I love the way the MR22+ 1st stage looks and works. Aqualungs always flutter, i first time diving used aqualung legend rented, and every breath i had to break a seal. Abyss is a bit heavy, but with the right mouth piece and flex hose, it's more than you can expect, completely seemless breathing. in 25 dives, some going past 45mins, I only went below 1000psi twice, once cuz i got lost, and once cuz instructor wanted to go in a quest.
GREAT VIDEO!!!!
The Apeks XL4+ is my favorite, it has a 2nd HP port and a white colored second stage (instantly recognizable under water as well), nicely compact and very light breathing at any temperature and depth conditions. Was about to buy the Aqualung LX Supreme because of its Master Breathing System, but walked out with the Apeks one, best buy ever!
Have you tried the flights version? I have them but was wondering if the xl4 breath better? I need cold water regs and im thinking the xl4. I dive the UK so flights are no good throughout colder months
Love the aqualung legend! I use the legend lx! Lightweight and compact with all the bells and whistles! I was doing a pool session checking my buoyancy with a steel 12l at 50 bar, I sucked the cylinder absolutely dry and didn’t notice any difference until the last few breaths! I also love the apeks black ice and the scubapro A700 with the MK25! I also enjoyed the aqualung mikron when I used it on a dive in Mozambique! But my legend stays tops! With the parts for life, the ACD and the performance! All round my favorite regulator set!
Thanks for reading
Safe diving!
I'm right there with you, Aaron. I tried out various regulators -- ScubaPro, Mares, an old Dacor... (Anyone remember them?) and I went with the Aqua~Lung Legend LX Supreme. After two years with it I'm still so happy that when I needed another second stage (to put on an OTS Spectrum full-face mask) I bought a Legend Supreme. It's a little cheaper than the LX, because it has a venturi lever rather than the Master Breathing System knob, but is still excellent, and of course it works with the Legend LX first stage. Win/Win situation.
My primary is also an LX supreme with an Apeks xtx 200 as an octopus. I like the LX a little more but they are pretty close, naturally. I dove an Atomic B2 for years. Good reg but it often whistles and is a bit more mechanical in is breathing than the buttery LX. Also have an a700/mk17 and my 1990s conshelf is still in service with one of my kids. Bullet proof!
Had an MR22 Abyss since 1995. Just had the first free flow as I entered the water, which I couldn't stop. Previously had a few small leaks which I could live with on the dive but which needed adjustment afterwards. Typically these small leaks were following a service where it had been adjusted too far towards ease of breathing. I suspect the free flow happened because I had taken it to a new dive shop for a service, who no longer supply Mares products, and they may have cheated a bit on the service. But, of course, the whole unit is pretty old now, so could give more problems in future.
Now considering if I should retire it and spend the money on a new Apeks.
Mares 52x fusion for rec, mk25 with s600 x2 in my tec rig
Legend LX. But I’m looking for a second reg. Thx for the hot tips
What about the Apeks 40/50/100/200/Tungsten
Aqualung Legend LX, because of its ACD
what about the mares abyss 22 navy?
I have apeks dst that is a great allround reg that works really well in cold water, same with my scubapro MK16 and MK17. But I've absolutely love my apeks flight reg for it's lightness, performance, reliability and is outstanding to travel. I would recommend cressi MC9 and MC10 as well because you get a great reg value for a very reasonable price. Sadly cressi regs has a bad rep but after cressi took the critics seriously they made really great regs.
Do you ever see Beuchat, they are awesome. Cold water capable and compact
could you review the drager secor 7000 1st stage
scubapro mk 16 and g250
I use a Sherwood Scuba Classic...affordable trust worthy time tested...
I have a high performance scuba pro titanium regulator.
Im happy you finally highlighted some specific products. Everyone of your reviews is okay, but you only say positive things about them (you have a business you want sales), even if they aren't that great. Please do more top picks videos for different equipment.
Noted Slick85!
I wish they would put the prices up with them
Yeah he's covering the 2nd one now and no price...I thought they sell gear.
@@therrienmichael08 he does but he said he doesn’t put prices up because they change and doesn’t want to tell people a wrong price
This is a year and a half ago and I hadn't seen the swiveling 2nd stage.
Mike nhgoldprospector I have an Apollo prestige and it has a swiveling 2nd stage
MK25 A700 👌👍
I picked up a seac DX200, mostly because my kit is seac.
How is it doing for you? Hopefully satisfied with it?
Oceanic FDXI / Zeo. Best regs ive ever used.
I still use my MR22/42 first stage combo plus Abyss 2nd for cold water, and the MR42+Abyss when traveling. The breathing comfort without the need of a ventury lever or effort control knob is outstanding. In Germany a lot of people use Apex or Mares MR/Abyss and some Scuba Pro or Poseidon because water is cold here... ;-)
Strong choice of regs. Four of them were already on my top list as well.
ive never done any scuba diving, why am i watching this when i should be sleeping?
Just in case.
Zeagle envoy is what i use
Halcyon Halos for both regs. Haven't used them since I bought them. I just was told they're one of the best.
Scuba! Scuba! Scuba!
DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!
Conshelf XIV!!!!
scubapro MK17 evo and s600
Great coldwater setup popular in Great Lakes diving. My go to "cold" set up. Use the Black Tech Mk25.A770 setup for warm water travel. Effortless breathing
That is A700
Only Mares has the Miflex Hose out of all the High Dollar Regs. The flex hose should eliminate all the swivel connections.
My apeks flight came with miflex hoses.
Poseidon Jetstream or Xtream. Dive anywhere-even January in Minnesota, USA and not worry about freezing.
A700 is the best i ever had. S620ti is great but not comparable at all with the King A700
Aqualung Legend
Deep6
OMS Airstream
Scubapro mk 5 Baby!
I just use the government. They can regulate anything
Wat part is titanium? Piston or diaphram? STOP JUST SAYING ITS NICE... UR BRITISH, WE GET IT... THINGS ARE NICE.... PLEASE BETTER YOUR REVIEWS, IM LEARNING NOTHING.
I feel like im listening to a smartphone salesman telling me less than what I already know about each device. And Im a super newbee diver. You are explaining the most obvious specs of each unit. PLZ MAKE PROPER REVIEWS, MATERIALS, SPECS, NOT JUST, "its a big purge button" we can see the button thank you. Plz help more.
cant ghear you because of music
