I probably will buy the Oceanic Alpha 8 SP5 DVT Piston Regulator.
I understand it is an unbalanced regualtor.
I read "an unbalanced reg will start to breath more stiffly as the tank pressure drops, especially as the tank pressure nears the intermediate pressure of the first stage....However, if youre not watching your gauges, you may get very little inhalation warning that youre about to suck your tank dry. An unbalanced reg should be a little cheaper, but will start to pull harder towards the end of the tank. Some divers like the fact that the reg is, in effect, telling you youre running low on air."
So If I start at 3000 psi, will I start to breath more stiffly at 500 or 1000 psi???
Thanks.
