just wondering what everyone has out there. im sure this is an item that you get what you pay for. before i get that far into it i just wanted some opinions. i have a dozen or so buddys that dive. only a few of them have the same reg as the next guy. they all seem happy with what they have. some scuba pro, some atomic. also wondering about an octo. thanks, jeremy

I have the Atomic Z2 reg w / a Scuba Pro air2 on the BC. I'm pretty satisfied with this. Dont think you can go wrong with either brand

Atomic M1 has been great for me and 5 of my good friends for spearfishing and SAR diving....Go see the guys at MBT and they will show you the complete line...

If I had the money I would go to Atomic but for now I use an oldie but goodie. Go talk to the guys at MBT like mentioned above. They will help you figure out your needs and get you the best deal in town.

I have two Atomic M1's and will be purchasing two or maybe three more in the near future. Most people don't need a M1 for the type of diving they will be doing. Not only do they breathe great they also have a two year service interval unlike most other regs that have to be serviced once a year.



The Atomic Z2 is also a great reg for a fraction of the cost. I don't think I'll own anything other then Atomic unless it's just a back up reg.

Which reg you should go with depends on your personal needs, desires, and budget. I'm partial to the Atomic B-2, but there are many excellent regs out there by many different manufacturers at a variety of price ranges.

Come by the shop and We'll be happy to help you make the right decision for you.

I got my first Atomic last year after diving all others. I have taken it to 175' or so and it flowed very good without any adjustment.

Good Topic,

For me I dont have enuff experience to make a decision or even know what another reg would breathe like. I have a Mares something and for me air is inhaled and exhaled without an issue. Now I have never tried any other so I dont know if the difference is noticable. I do however know if your in current like in a river then its possible to free flow if facing the current. Ive seen the ones with the sensitivity knobs but I dont yet know this either....

Share the differences and If mine hits 130 feet and I have no issues explain the differences of depth to determine the right regs. I know cold water and pressurized air will freeze up too.

Scuba Pro s600, great reg.

This is a great question and sure to generate quite a few responses. I've got quite a few in my arsenal(think I'm up to 9 regs, now:banghead)and agree that the M1 is the "top shelf" reg, in my opinion. Like 'evensplit' said, it depends on your budget and type of diving you do. I would go with the Atomic line, tho. If you like streamlined, get an integrated octo.I use an SS1 and love it, but some people prefer the secondary 2nd stage.
