I'm currently diving a Sherwood Oasis. Love the reg down to approx 70ish ft. About 100ft or so I feel the performance starts to drop off, breathing becomes a bit tougher with the Oasis.

Question is, based on experience, what reg gives the best performance in the 100-120ft range? All my diving is warm water (Hawaii). I know there are a few variables to consider here, but what reg would folks recommend that doesn't suffer a performance drop off below 100ft?

Thanks.....
I also dive with an oasis.it is about 10 years old. I love it(no dry mouth) I also did notice 2 weekends ago that at 95 feet it was a little tougher to breath,,,not much ,but not like at 20 feet. Let me know what you replace your first stage with if you go that route
 
I'd say in the years that have elapsed since the post started in 2003 that if he was going to replace it he's already done so.

However, since the thread was resurrected I'll chime in and tell you that my Blizzard breathes fine down to 119 feet, but then I was narc'd so maybe it didn't and I just thought it did...
 
Even, the cheapest SP or Apeks regs can handle 100ft without any problems..
 
On deep recreational dives I cannot feel any increase in breathing effort with my early 90's Oasis.
