WHEN WE STARTED DOING DEEP-WATER side-by-side regulator tests, many years ago, one of the surprise performers was the inexpensive Oceanic Alpha in its earliest incarnation. more...

Regulator SEAC X5 ICE
THE REVIEWER OF PRODUCTS in magazines faces a constant challenge. Does he tell the story as it’s perceived and understood by most readers, or does he tell the truth based on an experience that happens to go against popular thinking? more...

Regulator Dive System X-TEC CLV
This mid-price-range regulator gave me all the air I needed and there was no tendency to wetness. Tekkies will love it, although there was no sign of that “gushing” effect beloved of so many of them. more...

WITH SIDE-MOUNTING OF TANKS more in vogue, Apeks has produced a set of regulators destined to become the British side-mount divers’ favourites. No sooner had I started to use the Hollis SMS50 side-mount wing than I was invited to try the Apeks Sidemount Regulator Kit. more...

Regulator Dive Rite 3100
SOME MANUFACTURERS manufacture, while others simply manupack – that is, they get their products made by sub-contractors and put them in their own packaging.
It’s a safe bet that the latest Dive Rite 3100 originated in the Far East. more...

Regulator IST Proline R860
Under CE-testing regulations you shouldn’t be able to buy a regulator in Europe that doesn’t meet European standards for breathing. So a Chinese-made regulator sold in the UK should, in theory, perform as well as any other. more...

Regulator Aqua Lung Legend
The new Legend doesn’t look that different from the old one, apart from being a touch lighter and smaller, and I’m told that the work of breathing is slightly less. more...

Regulators SEAC X10 & X10 ICE
Seac broke into the British diving market with a BC, the Pro2000, which at the time had some unique features. Until then it had virtually no market share.
It has never really cracked the problem of convincing you that its regulators are worthy of consideration, and I don’t know why.

The Atomic Z2 is a balanced piston-type design, with all the high flow-rate performance this implies. It has a high-pressure piston-seal system, in common with all Atomic regulators. more...

Regulator MARES ABYSS NAVY
The Mares Abyss Navy looks and feels exactly like some other current Mares Abyss regulators, except that this one has an all-black second stage – although I guess that members of special forces on covert operations would blank out the glittery Mares badge. more...

REGULATOR Scubapro C300
SOMETIMES, we at the magazine get a chance to use something long before it reaches the shops. The Scubapro C300 was a case in point and I, plus a few UK Scubapro stockists, was allowed an exclusive preview at a Scubapro dealer event in Sharm el Sheikh last November. Naturally, I got to dive using an example.

REGULATOR SCUBAPRO S600/MK25

Regulator Cressi Ellipse cold water MC9
Sean at O'Three remembers me from the days when I had long hair that I tied in a pony-tail for diving, and had become well-known for being ruthless in print about items of diving equipment that were patently no good. more...

REGULATOR APEKS FLIGHT
AT LONG LAST WE'VE GOT OUR HANDS ON the lightweight regulator from the British manufacturer Apeks. Regulators from this company have developed an enviable reputation for high performance, so we were expecting nothing less, even though this model promised to be the lightest on the market.

REGULATOR CRESSI ELLIPSE STEEL MC5
IT SEEMS A VERY LONG TIME since regulators from Cressi-sub were thought to be anything less than good, but the diving trade in the UK is pretty set in its ways, and you rarely see Cressi regs for sale in many dive shops. more...

REGULATOR MARES PRESTIGE 32 NTT
The latest, pared-down MR22 is lighter than before, while the MR42 looks similar but is actually smaller overall. The MR32 appears to be somewhere in the middle, but with a plastic coating. Are you still with me? more...

REGULATOR MARES ABYSS 42
I used this regulator in some fierce flows of water. They may have left me heaving for breath due to lack of fitness, but the regulator always performed faultlessly. It never over-breathed, nor did it cut me short of air when I needed it. more...

REGULATOR SCUBAPRO MK17 G250V

REGULATOR EFFESUB ITON BLACK HD 310
The Iton Black first stage is not actually black. It's finished in some kind of electro-magnetically applied coating that gives it a dull gunmetal appearance. It's quite fetching. more...
