I typically purchase a new SCUBA regulator every few years.   When I first started SCUBA, I purchased an Atomic Aquatics Regulator with a B1 first stage.   Thus fur that is by far the best regulator I have ever used.   The down fall is that it was quite expensive to service.   In my opinion, the quality and performance out weights the cost of servicing it.    I recently picked up a new Atomic T2X.   I can’t wait to start using it.   I am going to try and test it out in the pool during a training session.   If things work out, I will head down to Beaver Lake with Adventure Sports and do a deep dive with it before heading to my next SCUBA trip in Dominica.  I always support the local SCUBA shops in my area.   So I purchased this locally from Skin-n-Scuba in Kansas City.
