I am researching regs for my fiance and I, and think ive pretty well narrowed it down to three choices and am interested in opinions and experience anyone has had with these particular models. We are looking at having these around for a long time so experience in dealing with the customer service (warranty repairs etc) would be great as well.
My fiance is newly certified and I have logged only about 30 dives but we are both planning on doing alot of diving in the Washington and BC as well as some tropical diving. We will never be doing anything like cave diving or wreck penetration but we do plan on doing some current and possibly semi deep dives in the future and likely will want to go nitrox at some point. I like the idea of of a sealed first stage though im not sure thats a requirement. Thoughts?
The main factors I am looking at are:
1 - Performance/Comfort
2 - Reliability/Durability
3 - Warranty/Service
The regs we are looking at are:
Scubapro MK25/X650
Apeks ATX 200
Atomic B2 (w/Env seal?)
Right now I am leaning towards the Atomic for the performance and service. Also, I am worried about jaw fatigue for the fiance and the swivel and very light 2nd stage sounds very appealing.
Thoughts? Am I missing anything given our future plans? I trust the guys at a couple LDS but I know they are biased and want to make as informed decision as possible as these will be a fairly sizeable investment for us.
Thanks
