60:Second ScubaLab: Apeks Flight Regulator

Apeks calls the Flight “the lightest regulator in the world,” and we’d have to agree. Our test reg, a yoke-style model, weighed in at only one pound, five ounces, by far the lightest reg ScubaLab has ever reviewed, and the DIN version is four ...

ScubaLab: BCs - Tusa Selene II

A lot of female-specific attention to detail went into this BC. Combined with its across-the-board, better-than-average performance, the Selene II is a good choice for women.

ScubaLab: BCs - Sherwood Luna

The Luna was our female test divers’ favorite women’s BC.

ScubaLab: BCs - BARE Curve

According to Bare this BC is popular among drysuit divers, and we believe it.

ScubaLab: BCs - Zeagle Express/Deluxe

As tested, the Express Tech is a pretty nice minimalist BC perfectly suited for tropical diving.

ScubaLab: BCs - SeaSoft Travlite

Test divers liked the design and feel of the TravLite, but the lack of stability was a drawback. It also carries about 2-and-a-half pounds of inherent buoyancy, among the highest of this year’s tests.

ScubaLab: BCs - SCUBAPRO Litehawk

The Litehawk came in hot on the Zuma’s heels as this year’s top Travel BC. The BC carries no inherent buoyancy, and its generous buoyant lift in all sizes makes it well suited for both tropical and temperate water diving.

ScubaLab: BCs - SCUBAPRO Geo

The Geo is feather light, packs compactly, and is comfy and functional in the water. Plus it carries less than 1 pound of inherent buoyancy, so you might not need a weight system after all.

ScubaLab: BCs - Cressi Aquapro 5

The Aquapro 5 is a comfortable and stable BC. If you like jacket-style rigs, this is a good travel version.
