Buy A $300 Regulator or An $800 Regulator? [video]

When buying a new scuba regulator, it’s important to understand the differences between lower-end and higher-end options. Both types will supply air effectively, but pricier models include extra features like balanced first stages and adjustable second stages. For recreational divers who dive ten times a year or less, a $300 regulator is often sufficient. The choice really depends on how often and the types of dives you plan to do.
