Atomic Aquatic Regulators.

[Oldbear]

I had a customer who asked to compare breathability of a B2 and a Mk25/S620i right out of their boxes. He choose the B2 solely because it breathed better. Then he really liked the comfort swivel, more robust service interval (he lives on a boat traveling the Pacific) and the Lowe price.

I too have switched all my ScubaPro regs, mostly Mk25/S600s, to Atomic B2s...on my Sidemount, on my single tank configurations on my double hogarthian configurations and most of my deco regs are M2s. Considering a T3 for teaching with.

I believe the official service schedules are the same between Scubapro and Atomic regs with the exception of the T3. Inspection and Overhaul alternating yearly. The T3 being 3 years

The B and Z regs from Atomic are a better value than the Mk25 reg sets. As far as one breathing better than the other I doubt there's actually a real world difference. My main sets were MK25/S600 and I couldn't tell a difference between them and an M1 I picked up

My favorite M1 feature is the extra wide exhaust T.

FWIW, I believe the wide exhaust tee can be attached to all the other models.

Yes it can, well worth it.

i love my Atomic B2. When I first got to this forum I was kind of disappointed at the lack of talk about Atomic Regs. It seems like everyone here loves Deep6 regs or Scubapro.

BTW does anyone have a full parts number Diagram for the Atomic Regulators. I did get one with just the Saddle area but I would love to have the full chart with ordering numbers on first and second stage parts.
Thanks

Please post.

Thanks, but I got those already. I am looking for the rest of the diagram below and one for the second stage.

I would be interested to learn more about the internals / workings of the Automatic Flow Control (AFC).
