Hi Everyone,
I'm brand new here, but I've been diving for about 15 years. I am finally ready to buy a regulator and need some advice.
I have about $300 to spend on a 1st and 2nd stage set. I've looked at the Zeagle Envoy Deluxe and the Dacor American viper. I have no idea how to choose between them.
I am a recreational diver who never uses anything other than regular air. I stay above 120' and don't dive in cold water. I have, however, been at 100' when both my primary and octopus failed, and I didn't enjoy having to buddy dive with only ten minutes of air left in my buddy's tank!
So, I really want a regulator that will be reliable and safe. I will get it serviced yearly, but I'm not equiped to handle a lot of on-site tinkering and adjustments.
A control to adjust the flow of air would be a nice feature.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!!
