@@LeviathanScuba yall have said it time and time again, that you don't just want to tell people what to by. I'm newly certified, looking to expand my skill set quickly to nitrox and deep diving. I live in California and primarily boat dive the channel Islands. What would be some really key features to looking for in a primary regulator, or possibly a suggestion or two to looking into. Your feedback is so much appreciated and can't wait to see the next video. Thanks
@@jacobking1267 Thanks for the kind words Jacob. We are doing the regulator videos now. But in the interest of saving some time for you I will give you the basics. First, this is life support. Not the piece of gear to buy the cheapest out there. Buy from some of the biggest most well-known manufacturers and you will get some good stuff. Money doesn't necessarily determine quality, but it will get you more features. Match to your type of diving. Warm water recreational? Cold water, or maybe going to do it for a job. Cold water regs are environmentally sealed and the body of the first stage is filled with a silicone grease. These will cost $35-$50 more to service later when you have them tuned up or serviced. Flex hoses are very popular as they are flexible and more comfortable. A swivel at the 2nd stage also is popular and more comfortable. Adjustable venturi (the knobs on the side of some mouthpieces) will help you adjust the breathing from stiffer to more easy flow. Benefits to both. I will cover all this in the coming videos. If you try to buy used make damn sure it is modern. The safety regulations have changed for the better and safer. Example, prior to 2001 regulators could fail closed. As in Suprise, no more air! After 2001 they must fail open if they fail. Lots of bubbles but you can still breathe out of it. I am referring to United States regulations. If you are in another country, I am not sure. Hope that helps. Tell your diver friends about us and more to come soon. Freddy

Miss your videos, hope you come back soon. Very sad quality content like this doesn’t get many views.
Thanks for the different tack on things mate 😎👍👍👍
Kind of fun aren't they? They make people smile and you can tell when they notice underwater. Thanks for watching Caveman. More coming soon. Freddy

Can anyone go to the DEMA show or is it only manufacturers and business owners?
