Aqua Lung Titan LX

[TRACI]

Is this a good reg for the price? Will be using primarly for warm water diving, max depth would be approx 140 ft.

The Titan LX is a good reg, but for 140' it's ok, but you might want something a little better just based on the depth.

Unless your LDS will come off 20-30% off the MSRP list price of the Titan LX, I'd buy it from Leisure Pro. (I hate Aqualungs monopolistic list price only sales policy). You can buy from other manfacturers and not have that problem.

So what would you recommend in the next price range that would be better? Maybe $300 - $400 range?

My son and I use Titan LX regs and really like them. We got a good deal on the first/second stage + octo at our LDS. The regs tend to honk when they're dry, but breathe very smoothly under water. I don't get a lot of free-flow situations when I'm on the surface, like some of the others I've used. My only knock is that they are harder to breathe when you're looking sharply upward or are upside down. I don't know why this occurs, though.

I've tried a couple of other regs in my short diving career and the Titan breathes much better. The reviews are pretty good, too. I won't be at 140' any time soon, so I can't comment on that.

The titan had pretty good reviews, I was looking around for a reg for someone else, not me, I will not make it to 140' anytime soon either!

Zeagle DSV or Apeks ATX50(DS4) are a great reg in that price. Both have adjustable second stages and breath well past 200f.

I have a titan LX supreme and its a really good reg.

I have the Titan LX and can’t say anything bad about it; however, if I had to buy a reg all over again I would have went with something a littler higher performing. My main problem with it is it is not environmentally sealed. If I were buying a reg again, I would seriously look at the Apex XTX200 or the Aqualung legend. They cost a little more but I would have chosen these over the Titan LX. Don’t get me wrong though, I have never had a problem with my Titan LX and it breaths really well. I have not had it at 140’ so I can’t speak on that but I would have no apprehensions taking it that deep.

Call ScubaToys and ask about an Oceanic Delta 4
Replaced the Titan LX i was diving with
Much nicer reg, the only thing I liked about the Titan was the mouthpiece.

I would recommend that you look even lower down than the delta 4, the oceanic GT3 is very similar, without the swivel, and with a slightly different first stage. When I asked an oceanic rep, they told me to go with the GT3, since the Delta 4 really doesn't have that many extra features, but a fair amount more cost. It has the adjustable breathing effort as well, which is nice, since you can increase effort at the surface and make it easier at depth.
