A
scuba diving regulator is the invention which makes scuba
diving possible.
It reduces the pressure of air delivered from the oxygen
tank to the ambient water pressure and sends it to your
mouth. Put simply scuba
diving regulators make scuba diving possible.
Diving regulators have two parts knows as first stage and
second stage which are connected by a hose. The first stage
connects to the tank, and the second stage is behind the
mouthpiece. Both are critical to air flow regulation in
a scuba system.
First stage scuba regulators
 The
first stage of the scuba
diving regulator has a valve to lower air pressure from
the tank. An important part of understanding how to dive
is understanding the regulator's function. Similar to how
a water tap works, it controls the rate of flow of air,
reducing the flow from 2000psi to around 140psi. However
the great thing about these regulators is that they self
adjust to suit the ambient water pressure around you
as your dive depth changes. First stage regulators have
several outputs. High pressure to go to the tank pressure
gauge, and low pressure to connect to the second stage,
BCD and an octopus.
Second stage scuba regulators
 Second
Stage Scuba Regulators sit behind the mouthpiece and
manage the inhalation and exhalation of breathe. Through
a series of valves and balance chambers, a second stage
regulator makes breathing feel natural and effortless
despite these complexities. It also has an exhaust or purge
function which lets used air out without letting water in.
How to choose the best scuba diving regulator?
Some features to consider when purchasing a scuba regulator
are:
- easy to hold and a comfortable ergonomic design
- controls such as the purge button are easy to operate
even in thick gloves
- non corrosive materials
- piston v diaphragm mechanics
- always buy new - this is a critical piece of equipment
to your diving safety - don't buy other people's problems
- warranty terms and length
- the hose should be flexible and soft
- the second stage should have swivel joints for better
movement
We highly recommend the Aeris
Atmos Pro as the Scuba Diving Regulator which offers
the ultimate combination of high performance at a value
for money price. The Aeris Atmos Pro has
all of the features you would expect and even more:
- pneumatically balanced
- self adjustable inhalation effort
- compatible to 40% Nitrox
- adjustable second stage
- 'venturi assisted' inhalation
- First stage swivel attachment to the regulator hose to
reduce hose pull and resulting jaw pull
The Aeris Atmos
Pro Regulator features pneumatic balancing, adjustable
2nd stage and is sure to provide you the best performance
for years. The pneumatic balance in the second stage provides
the lowest possible inhalation effort. The adjustment in
the 2nd stage allows you to adjust and fine tune your breathing
effort throughout your dive.
A venturi assist deflector vane controls air flow from
the valve to the mouthpiece. At the surface, the venturi
assist can be turned down to prevent regulator free flow.
The first stage of the Aeris
Atmos Pro Regulator is a balanced diaphragm for long
term performance.
Overall the Aeris Atmos Pro is a great model at a low
price, and it comes bundled with a free bag with every purchase.
