What regs do you use?

[lowviz]

If you really care, ask the reg guys. I service my own, but I'm not one of the experts.

Binary Tree:

Environmentally sealed (cold water/crud) or not
Swivel turret or fixed
Piston or diaphragm

* note the above is ordered by my value judgment(s).

Recreational: Primarily use Atomic ST1 but also use B2 and SP's Mk25/s600

Tech.: Atomic M1 and SP MK25/s600.

I have used in the past regulators from Mares, Poseidon, AquaLung, Sherwood and others (DACOR in the very long past).

 

[NAM001]

SP mk25 and s-600's

 

[seeker242]

Atomic B2 & SP mk25 and s-600

Before people freak out i dive in cold water my Sherwood sr1s I love them their easy breathing and I haven't had any nightmare scenarios like some my next set though will be the Sherwood blizzards because I do so many cold water dives

This is great guys. Keep it coming!
I feel like I'm seeing a much different image of what people on average are using than I expected from what I read on here in the more targeted threads.

Crazy overwhelming number of mk25/ s600 and atomics!

depends on my mood.....

Me:

Tech - ScubaPro MK-17/G250v, or Poseidon Xstream, DECO - DiveRite RG3ICE
Rec - Argonut Kraken, or various vintage DA Aquamaster (PRAM upgrades) double hoses (I own 7), ScubaPro MK-17 with G250/HOG Classic/HOG Zenith,
Warm Water Travel - DA Aquamaster (PRAM upgrades), ScubaPro MK-20/G250
Pony - ScubaPro MK-2/156

Wife & Daughter:

Warm: ScbaPro MK-20/G250
Cold: HOG D1-Cold/Classic

I'll play around with a bunch of older ScubaPro gear when the mood strikes me.....

similar to @rhwestfall, it depends on my mood/rig. What is also important though is that many of us dive regulators for weird reasons. Sentimental attachment, affiliations with brands, easy access to parts, buddies dive them, etc. I.e. I have a bunch of scubapro first stages, not because I really "wanted them" but because I was given an offer I couldn't refuse on them.

Doubles/CCR-Scubapro MK25's with Poseidon Jetstream second stages.
Sidemount-Another set of MK25/Jetstreams
Stage bottles- Poseidon 3960/Jetstreams
Deco Bottles-Poseidon 3960/Scubapro 109's

Singles-usually Argonaut Kraken, but rarely dive singles

If I'm diving super cold **** *try to avoid*, then Kraken comes out first. If for whatever reason I needed doubles, I'd seal the 3960's and make a set for that, but again, I try to avoid that if I can help it.

Primary: Aqualung Legend LX (1st & 2nd stage)
Octo: Apex Egress

If there was a seven step program for regulators a few of the folks in this thread would be candidates for treatment.

Me depending on the dive and my mood:

Apex XTX200
VDH Kraken double hose
Aqualung DA with Phoenix and HPR second stage upgrade
Scubapro Mk V with 109 second
Original US Divers Mistral double hose
Scubapro Mk VII with 109 second
Broxton Ave Blue label aqualung

The first two are my go to regulators. The others are toys for messing around with. They are listed in order of usage.

I'm looking at getting a pair of regulators for side mount. Right now I'm leaning toward the Deep 6 set. The reason I'm considering them are the positive reviews, price and availability of service kits.
