Is the Aqua Lung regulators a good choice or is there a better one for the money?

Question

I am looking into scuba diving and am leaning towards the aqua lung legend regulator. It is expensive compared to others. Not knowing too much about all the various brands, I am finding it hard to know which one is a good one for the money.

Answer 1

The reg you by really depends on the type of diving you are or will be doing.
Will you be going into Nitrox diving?
Cold Water?
Tropical ?
Do you have problems with jaw fatigue?
Will you be travelling alot and have weight issues?

By all means spend as much as you can reasonably afford on a "really good " regulator, it is you life support system, but in this day and age one brand seldom stands ahead of the pack for long and many are designed with specific types of diving and divers in mind.
I personally have a Dacor set-up which is light that I use in warm water and in the Caribbean, and a Mares Abyss set-up that I use in the winter and diving in the North Atlantic.

This site will give you a good run down of reg tests in the past year.....

Hi. I know the "Tekno" or "Techno" regs are available however beware! The company went under (lol) and parts are not available to fix them. You might find someone who's selling one, but don't buy that brand.

I've attatched a link for info about different regs for ya. My b/f is a scuba diver.

If there's one thing you spend money on, it's your reg.

The second link is all about the reg you mentioned and gives you lots of info about Aqua Lung. Rest assured, it's a good choice.
