I dive an Atomic B1/T2 and think it's the shitz. Easy to breath at depth and the 2nd stage is real light weight and comfortable in the mouth. Haven't dived many other regs to make a comparison but this one works great.

I dive with an Apeks 200 and Apeks 50 on my pony bottle. They have served me well in all the muck, silt and sand. From very cold water to very warm water.
Which end is up?

ScubaPro MK25 and S500- Keep it simple.
I use the Air2, but have some Mares octo for teaching. I think Mares is French for freeflow.

I've had my MR22 for many years and it's never freeflowed, not even in water in the 20's. I've seen Scubapro Mk25's freeflow in much warmer water.ScubaPro MK25 and S500- Keep it simple.

I've used my Atomics in Catalina in the dead of winter without any issue - I love 'em!!I just got the new Atomic B2. Being I picked it up this weekend in Catalina....I am excited to use it.....But when talking to divers at Casino point and the water Temps were between 58 at 75' and 67 at 20' burrr.....I will have to wait until October and try it in Kiribati.
I have had a Cousteau for years and liked it. In doing research on a new Reg I narrowed it down to the Legends, Apex and the Atomic B2. The Atomic got such rave reviews I picked that....Just have to wait....till October
Love 'em so much that's what I bought for my fiance. Wow, this marriage thing is expensive, just having to duplicate the gear!

Yeah, well, it is if you're buying Atomics. That's a nuclear bomb to kill a mosquito for most diving. But if you like 'em, more power to you!
There are old divers and there are bold divers, but there ain't no old, bold divers.

Love my Atomics: B2 for home and T2 (lightweight) for travel an SS1 alternate on both configurations. They all breathe great!

They may be OK, on this board, but over on SB.com, there's a guy who thinks that by not diving ScubaPro, I'm gonna die.Ah, those key man discounts....Love my Atomics: B2 for home and T2 (lightweight) for travel an SS1 alternate on both configurations. They all breathe great!
BTW, anyone notice my post count? Shouldn't there be a contest or something?
