which is better

Which one is better?

Tusa RS130
Sherwood Brut
Oceanic Alpha 8
Aeris A1

[mitsuguy]

they will all do the job... I have had first hand experience with the RS130 and subsequently own a pair of RS460's... work great for me, and the dive / pre-dive adjustment is handy... (though makes more of a difference on my 460 than it did on the 130)

the others are all good options as well... regs are hard to choose...

Out of those I would go with the RS130, but personally, I would go with Scubapro if that becomes an option.

Where is the "none of the above" option???

[SarahBella]

The one I would pick would probably be the Tusa-its the only one with an adjustable 2nd stage which I really like. Best thing to do is try them and see what works for your type of diving-I live in Upstate NY so I spent a little more on a Zeage DSV because environmentaly sealed is good in the cold water. Good luck.

i personally like sherwood regs, because they are so indestructible, but with everything else in diving, it's all personal preference. I've dove with a Tusa, and an oceanic, but i still like my sherwood maximus, especially the underarm hose on it. but thats just my 200psi.

They should all be fine. Are you planning on any kind of specialized diving?

[MLenyo]

thinking about picking up the tusa myself.

The TUSA is the only with an adjustable second stage and balanced first stage (depending on which Alpha 8 is chosen), so you are not necessarily comparing apples to apples. So you should decide which features are important to you, and try the regs, then decide.

Definetley the Tusa
