Who Makes The Best Regulator?

Why are your scooter prices so high???[/QUOTE

This is one of the old "You get what you pay for questions". Here are some details on our
scooters-one of the most reliable in the world. Now in its 3rd generation.

I find that a good length of garden hose tied to a surface float works about the best.

Just kidding. Please, please, please don't try this at home. And whatever you do, if you do try this at home please forget where you got the idea.

Too late, I tried it, I drowned and my wife is filing suit against you. ....never mind that I don't have a pool at home.

Downing: You asked a legit question. All Apollo regulators are manufactured in Japan by Apollo.

I'm old enough to remember when we thought of "made in Japan" as being cheap, inferior imitations of quality American goods.

Those days are long over.

Isn't this what we are saying about the Chinese stuff now? Oh My God. God help us in 20 - 30 years. China is a MUCH bigger country with more ideological orientation than Japan will ever be.

The best reg is owner and tech dependent.

Hey Bur........what colour are your underpants.

About 3 years ago Dive Magazine posed the same question to various dive professionals and got a nice mixed result, a Instructor in Sharm liked the Scubapro Mk2 because it was tough and reliable just what she needed. A researcher in the Antarctic liked his Poseidon Cyclones Metals because they had survived being nibbled by a Leopard Seal. Everyone is loyal to what they use. I don't like Sherwood regs because I hired some once in Thailand and they breathed really awfully, I bet it was just a service issue. I also find the exhaust ports on Apex regs a little short and the bubbles interfere with my vision, but there a fine breathing range of regs. I suspect the reg you use is the best in the world for you.

The OP's last post was in 2008. Even he/she is no longer interested in this pointless discussion.

Why are you interested?

The perfect scuba regulator would breath at depth exactly as you breath above the surface.
If you think about it during your next dive, you will agree there is still a lot of room for improvement
