The Best Dive Regulator



diving board

A dive regulator controls the pressure of breathing gas for the diver. While this is most commonly the case, a regulator can also control pressures for other gases used during diving. A regulator that controls diving pressures can also be called an alternative second stage. The regulator is attached directly to the diver's tank. The diver will breathe through it to keep him comfortable underwater.

Scuba regulators

A scuba regulator is an integral part of any scuba diving system. They regulate how much air is delivered to the diver to allow them to breathe easily and comfortably. They also allow for air delivery to be stopped or started under water. A purge button allows the diver, in an emergency, to drain the regulator and release air.

Alternate stage

The regulator of a diver has two distinct parts. They are the primary stage as well as the alternate second stage. The primary stage provides air for the diver and the secondary stage replenishes that air. The alternative stage can either be a less-efficient or better performing model. It can perform the same function as the primary stage, but is not as effective.

Balanced regulator

The Balanced regulator is a versatile, efficient scuba diving regulator that provides breathing gas to divers with minimal effort. Its innovative design and superior materials make it an excellent choice in any diving environment.


DIN valves

The type of valve is an important feature to consider when choosing a dive regulator. Typically, you will find two different types: Yoke valves and DIN valves. A Yoke valve has an O-ring that fits into a threaded connection on the tank's valve. An O-ring for a DIN valve is inserted into the first stage of the regulator's threaded connection.

Swivel joint hose adaptor

Divers will appreciate the versatility of a swivel-joint hose adaptor to their dive regulator. This adaptor allows you to route your regulator hose in a natural way and reduces jaw stress. It allows you and your buddy to share air. These accessories are simple to use and should be washed after each dive.

Protective regulators

There are many options for environmentally sealed dive regulators. These devices offer a variety of benefits, which make them an excellent choice for divers who are able to dive in freezing water. Their corrosion-resistant design is one of their best features. This can be achieved using zirconium instead of brass. Many of these products also have an environmental seal that is factory-fitted and a large purge switch. Many products come with a limited lifetime guarantee.
