Proper maintenance of your regulator will prolong the life of your gear and help keep you safe while diving.

ScubaLab puts 12 new regulators through their paces

ScubaLab's Director offers a behind-the-scenes look at Scuba Diving's regulator testing for 2011.

This 2010 Testers’ Choice regulator is a powerhouse when it comes to performance. And it’s a great price.

Pairing of balanced and adjustable 2nd stage Ellipse Balanced with the hyper-balanced 1st stage MC9. Thanks to the performance and the highly technological content of both stages this regulator is placed at the very top of the Cressi range. The user can adjust both the inhalation effort and the Venturi effect (dive / pre-dive) at any time during the dive.

IST is a family owned and operated manufacturer with three separate equipment lines available to the diving community. We have been manufacturing quality watersports equipment for others as well as ourselves for over 35 years, so while you may not have seen our logo frequently, chances are you have enjoyed our gear somewhere before.

SCUBAPRO’s balanced diaphram first-stage MK 11 is engineered to prevent the flow of cold or polluted water into the regulator, yet provide easy airflow regardless of tank pressure.

The Artemis from IST is not just a typical smaller version of a men’s BC. It was designed exclusively for women divers, by women divers.

The RS-680 regulator from TUSA features a compact, lightweight design. It contains two high-pressure and four low-pressure ports and is available in both DIN and yoke versionsThe RS-680 also incorporates TUSA’s Sequential Exhaust Assist (or S.E.A.), a new design featuring a dual exhaust system to decrease breathing effort during exhalation. The entire second stage also swivels 360 degrees to prevent jaw fatigue and add to overall comfort.
