Regulator?

[45thParallel]

Can anyone suggest a good regulator for depth and use of Nitrox?

Is it possible to buy any regulator and then have it set up for nitrox?

I am happy with the performance of my Apek TX50 regs and don't notice any reduction in breathing resistance at depth.

All are supplied from the factory ready for use with mixtures up to EAN40 and can easily be oxygen cleaned if you want to use higher percentage mixes.

Almost all quality regs come from the factory ready for up to EAN40, and can be O2 cleaned for pure O2 with the exception of some of the regs made of titanium. I'm assuming you have not taken a nitrox class yet, as these things should have been covered in a basic nitrox class. May I ask what type of diving are you currently doing, and what reg do you use now?

That's a new one to me. Is that a European brand? Who is the parent company?

Good choices. I would go with the MK16 as it has one less failure point (no swivel). You could also
use a R190 for back up (same as R380) but cheaper.

I like my Zeagle Flathead VI / ZX and my Scubapro MK25 / S600. Both of these have been good breathers at depth.

All regs mentioned will do you good, but my vote would have to go to the ATX200, but any of the Apeks regs will work. They're also not as expensive as Scubapro, if that's a concern.
