Choosing a good regulator for women

[Couv]

Yes, I agree that it will be fine. Moreover, you do not want to spend a lot of money right now on a regulator. If you do decide to become an instructor and become employed at a dive shop, they'll want you to teach in equipment they sell. Use the shop's equipment until you're sure you're happy there-then purchase (hopefully at an employee discount) another set if you still feel the need.

It may be worth trying a regulator service class, or just getting a book on regulator maintenance. Even if servicing them yourself is not something you want spend your time on getting beyond regulators are very tricky is worthwhile. I have Vance Harlow's book on regulator maintenance and think it is worthwhile and there are some others.

A start is reading the sticky at the top of the regulator forum on pre-dive checks. That done routinely can provide a lot of insight into your regulator's performance.

I have read the sticky note, and book would be very useful too, thanks a lot.

Thanks for reply, In my country dive centre/schools usually do not sell equipments they buy with whosale prices and rent it. They of course can get me wholesale price but , I have dived with the brand they use and not so happy with it, and they will teach me maintaining the equipment and all about them, but I am a little tired of using rental equipment, it is sometimes a little painful, not exactly for regulators but especially bcd's.. because I am a little skinny. And really have no chance to try better models at a dive centre, so after reading & watching videos about days because I have no chance to try, I am really confused, all videos and stuff seemed like made to be commercials and like there is no difference. Thanks again for reply.

Merhaba, sevgili LadySilk!

Woman`s equipment should be nice! All other - is mans problem

look at Reyson SAS Neo-RII

It is most cute regulator, that I ever seen.

By the way - it is also very good construction.
But can have some problems with accessment to buy or service.

Otherways there is another, more popular, but not so nice:
Apeks Flight

Hi again LadySilk,

Sorry for the unclear response I gave you. I meant to say that I agree that buying the Tusa is probably a good idea and should suit your needs for now.

Re the buoyancy device, consider getting a backplate and wing set up. Because the system uses a harness, it can be customized to fit perfectly. I recommend getting plate designed for single tank diving rather than a double tank plate that's been adapted for a single tank. Spend a bit of time reading and asking questions in Buoyancy Compensators (BC's) and Weight Systems

Good luck,

Couv
