Be careful about over thinking things. You just let two people I doubt you ever met push you away from quality equipment.

With thousands of dives between them in all kinds of conditions and both working in the industry....

What brands does your local dive shop carry? How far is Jim Lapenta from you? He is well respected in the dive community and he can set you up...He can help you spend as little or as much as you want!

Regardless, it is the internet. Suggesting Atomic as a poor choice for ocean diving is a bit suspect.

Any recommendations for me to do more research?

1. Sealed or unsealed.
2. Diaphragm vs piston.

Enjoy and have fun.

Suggestions for cold water regulators?

Hi everybody of the scuba diving community! I know this topic has been posted MANY times before, but from what I have found none of the previous threads match my circumstances perfectly or are recent enough due to updates in regulator technology. So now it is my turn to start a new thread on...

I would also strongly against Atomic if you're doing primarily ocean diving, they're annoying to keep salt out of on those long boat rides.

What are you talking about? I’ve been diving Atomic for 7 years with ZERO issues - pretty much all ocean boat diving except for a few training dives. I have several friends who also dive Atomic and also have zero issues and love them!

Where are you claiming salt is getting in (that would not get in once submerged)?

I personally love the way my Atomic regs breathe and the fact that they’ve been trouble free.

From what I am reading it should be sealed for non clear tropical water and the jury is still out on diaphragm or piston

You are the jury because you are using it.

@Tracerbullet - You have a Sherwood dealer near you?

From my recent experiences, the SR2 is a best of both worlds choice....

This is getting complicated!

This is so ridiculous, of course Atomic will work fine. They work fine for professionals and for a typical recreational diver who does 10-20 outings a year, just about ANY regulator will be fine.

You should spend more time researching dishwashers, before you buy one - you will use it a hell of a lot more.
