Not another this or that one

Oceanic Delta 4.1 Regulator D.V.T or Aqualung Titan LX ACD. They are both the same price so thats not a factor. So tell me Scuba Folks what do you think?

Oceanic...Oceanic Delta was/is one of the few regs with a 'blessing' from the U.S.Navy for use in Alaskan waters.
In all honesty, you'll probably be happy with either one.

I read that about the delta, but at the same time i read they won by being the lowest/better bid...i dont know if that is true or not but working in goverment myself i see that all the time

My Aqualung Legend ACD Supreme and Legend octo work fine at 4 F (1 C).

Maybe, maybe not... The decision to change regulators was the result of the US Coast Guard losing two divers in cold water.

This may be a case where equipment performance really did matter.

I can see "get the performance" then "now get me a price" but the bragging rights on landing these agencies is huge. Every manufacturer in the test should have been willing to discount to the bare minimum.

Thats true

So the question is which is a better breather?

 

[martzak]

I haven't tried either, but I'm willing to bet you wouldn't be able to tell the difference in breathing performance between them, underwater...my totally unqualified opinion.

I think you may be right about that!
