Hello All,
I'm new to scuba having only just recently been open water certified and I'm really excited to get back out there and dive. Figured I'd take the plunge pretty soon and start purchasing gear to remove the cost of renting when I go out. I've been perusing the forum and many of the manufacturers of regulators and other scuba equipment and wanted to see what regulator everyone would suggest I purchase.
I'm all for purchasing a regulator with my future dive interests in mind. I'd really like to do cold water/ice diving one day so I figured I'd purchase a reg that is rated for ice diving temperatures. I'm also looking for a reg that has a side exhaust or other deflected exhaust which won't put the bubbles all up in my face.
In my searches, I've found quite a few that state ice rated or side exhaust/deflected exhaust but not both. I'm sure that many of them do and the manufacturers just haven't noted it in their descriptions.
Any suggestions of what regs I should look into?
Thanks!
