Are Dive Rite regs good?

[Jarrett]

I love their BCDs, but are their regs good? I never see them reviewed. Do they hold up to the likes of Atomic, Apeks, etc?

I love my DiveRite regs...

I own 4. Easy to self service and very reliable

I have Oceanic, DiveRite and Atomic regs. ALL are good. ALL are reliable. All are Cold Water regs and have never frozen. Each was picked by the circumstances under which I bought them. I'd buy any of these brands again.

In fact, with a couple exceptions, I think touting one brand over another is more a matter of marketing and subscribing to the fad of the moment than substance.

If you are looking to buy, check out www.northeastscubasupply.com.

They have them on sale.

In the above article they reviewd the RD2500

Love my DR regs. I use 'em for everything from shallow pretty-fish-lookin' shore dives, to deep, cold, pentration wreck dives and long, dark, and scarry cave dives.

I have 2 RG2500ICE regs and like them a lot.

It got beat by everything but one reg? That doesn't look so good.

I have 2 of the RG2500Ice Dive Rite regulators and love them. A buddy who does tech diving turned me on to them by letting me borrow one of his, he almost didn't get it back He's had them to 200+ feet in the Great Lakes and never had a problem.

BTW, my husband has an Apeks and to me it breathes the same as the Dive Rites.
