Hey all,
My husband and I are looking into buying our own regulators/octopuses. There's a lot out there so we wanted to get a sense of what this community uses. We're typical vacation divers- we're advanced open water certified through PADI but we tend to stick to shallow warm water locales (we just want to hang out with reef fishies!) with the occasional 70-90ft dive. We dive a few times a year but are looking to do more local dives from our boat (Florida-Gulf waters) so we figured it would make sense to look into buying regs instead of perpetually renting.
Any recommendations or things to keep out for when shopping? Looking back through this forum there seems to be some love for the ScubaPro MK series and Mares Abyss series. We're looking for something reliable, easy to maintain (something that most dive shops can service), not terribly expensive (not looking to cheap out, but we don't want to spend crazy money on it either).
Thanks!!
