The bubbles my Genesis regulator emmits are obnoxiously noisy. Well, I think it's the bubbles. It's very detracting from the serenity of being under water. Will replacing the 2nd stage (while keeping the same 1st) solve this problem? Thanks for any helpful ideas.

Rent a different reg and than you'll know whether yours is making very noisy bubbles or is it normal.chavella:

Go vintage with a two hose regulator and get those pesky bubbles behind you.

Buy an Atomic regulator (M1, B2, Z1, T1 or 2) I have a B2 and if I had to dump all of my gear in an emergency, I would take the time to unscrew my B2 to take it with me. Yes, it is that GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY Quiet!!!!!!!!!!1
You may also find that in time, you will slow your breathing way down - and when the bubbles come out slower - they will not be as much of a concern. Try taking your inhales on a slow 4 or 5 count, but exhale slowly while counting to 10...
That will have a dramatic effect on your bubble noise, and give you much more bottom time as well!

My Dacor reg made a loud "moo" sound on my first dive with it. While I love cows, it was rather annoying, so I finished the dive with my octo and took it to the dive shop that day. I apparently had a bad diaphragm.
