Well I got some money to buy some scuba gear with. I have narrowed it down to the scubapro R 190 or R 295 regs. They are both in my price range. Which ever one I get I am going to get with the MK-2 first stage. I have been diving with the MK-2 and R 190 and really liked it. But I have heard good things about the R 295. So I thought I would ask you guys.
R 190 or R 295 ?

wet feet:
The R190 and R295 are the same internally I've got both of them and have had no problems with either of them, If I were you I'd shoot a pm to DA Aquamaster if you have any questions, He's the man to go to for ScubaPro.
Opps, kinda had a bit too much christmas cheer going on lol, sorry DA Aquamaster.

As DM Jim statedThe R190 and R295 ar ecactly the same internally except for the diaphram. The 190 is more durable due to the hard diaphram cover and possi ble may breath easier due to the larger diaphram. The R295 has been replaced the the R395, just a different cover.

I like being able to tune the VIVA to min for cold water on the R190. Water was 40 degrees today at 30 feet, no issues.

Yes, they share the same service kit. But, VIVA is good to have...
DA already addressed the differences (size, VIVA, etc.....) so many times on our board. He might copy and paste it again though...
