Ted, I haven't seen the Atomic reg in Australia but I would apply the standard tests I use to evaluate any reg. Make sure you can take off the front of the second stage in the water without tools. No special hoses or funky port sizes. Stay away from diaphram first stages unless they are based on the Poseidon or Apex design (ie USD conshelf first stages and the like don't rate) James -----Original Message----- From: Ted Phelps [mailto:tphelps@ph*.co*] Sent: 9 May 2000 8:53 AM To: trey@ne*.co* Cc: Techdiver@Aquanaut. Com Subject: RE:Atomic Regulators (Was Mares ruby titanium reg) What is your opinion of Atomic Titanium regulators? I already own one, and while I don't mind (and am looking forward to) getting rid of the Zeagle Ranger, the Oceanic Computer, etc., I'd like to keep the reg unless there is a good reason not to.
