SCUBA REGULATORS
scuba regulator are made up of two parts: the first stage, which
is attached to the tank, and the second stage, which goes in
your mouth. The first stage has a series of ports for accessory
hoses. At least one of these will be a high pressure port for
the submersible pressure gauge.The other ports are low pressure
ports; they deliver air at a pressure of about 140 (psi). Scuba
regulator can be piston or diaphragm and balanced or
non-balanced. Balanced regulators perform uniformly regardless
of tank pressure, or depth. Some regulators have an adjustable
second stage. This enables you to "fine tune" the amount of
breathing resistance. Be sure to compare all design features and
function comparisons before deciding which model fits your scuba
diving requirements.
Scuba regulators are available from every major manufacturer. Below
you will find links so a comparison of design and features can be
made prior to purchase.
OMS Regulators
The unbalanced regulator has been the workhorse of the industry for
years. Why? Its rugged, simplistic, dependable, low cost design lends
itself for use as a primary, recreational, technical or DECO
regulator. This Oxygen Clean regulator in fact was utilized by the
National Park Service as a primary SCUBA regulator in its 190+ foot
dive to the B-29 bomber in Lake Mead! This regulator now comes
standard with (1) frosted (1) Black (1) green (Oxygen) and (1) Yellow
cover. Also available as an octopus.

testing, the RG2500 sets a new standard for high performance
regulators today. The pneumatically balanced design of the second
stage makes it a superior performer at depth. It can be fine tuned to
your breathing needs with a simple turn of the knob. Internal parts

new bucket shape replaces a typical flat filter for optimum airflow.
The new long-wearing polyurethane seat is exclusive to Apollo and
has a 3-year warranty! Also exclusive to Apollo is a revolutionary
new Hydro-carbon plating used on all 1st and 2nd stage metal parts
to repel water and debris virtually eliminating corrosion and
bacterial formation
