Not me, I don't like a page that users can modify to say what they want it to. I could take the reg page and make it say they work by magic and then when you went there that's what you'd read and believe.

Nope, I don't like it because it's not trustworthy.

If you really want to know about regulators, you might look at this book. It goes into much more detail than most people want to know. I'm going to order it one of these days, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

If you want to compare the performance of different regs, you'll want to check out ScubaLab results (I think you can find it on ScubaDiving.com).

It was ScubaLab that clearly told me to save my money and buy a Zeagle Envoy reg since it performed flawlessly and better than many regs two and three times as expensive. After nearly 4 years, I haven't regretted my decision for a second and even convinced my husband he needed to go with Zeagle when he couldn't take the unreliability of his Aqualung regs anymore.

It was the combination of my experience, the fabulous customer service (and prices) from ScubaToys, and how great ScottZeagle has always been that convinced him to go with Zeagle regs over Atomics. He's been so happy with his Zeagle regs that he even recently decided to go back inflate for his BC and bought a Ranger LTD. All from ScubaToys of course.

Now we're the complete Zeagle family.
