So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Diving Regulators

By Ed J Price

The best scuba regulator is needed for diving whether you are new to scuba diving or an experienced. There are different regulators for different diving conditions. For instance, warm water regulators and cold water ones.

Update on Regulators

The technologically advanced carbon fiber regulator that was lightweight was introduced in the year 2008. It was compact, yet was able to perform. The second stage case came in sixty five percent lighter than its metal cousins.

The Sherwood Gemini model became a star in the alternate inflator category and scored points with its ease for its breathing features and well designed and placed controls. Beyond the weight-it's light, nitrox-ready, and rated "excellent" at moderate breathing rates at both 132 and 165 feet.

What to Look for in Regulators

Most divers look for durability when it comes to regulators. The Sherwood Oasis is a good warm-water regulator. Many of its models were tested for durability, service hours, annual servicing, corrosion issues, and peak performance. Along with the innovation of diving regulators, most were durable. But like any other fine piece of equipment, following the manufacturers recommendation.

The Blizzard is another regulator that is able to keep out moisture and icing. This was only a small part of this regulators feature. Apart from this model, a bubble deflector exhaust tee reduced the bubble size increasing the line of vision.

A top pick for 2008, the SR1 by Sherwood boasts a 360-degree swivel which works with both a yoke and DIN attachment. With its astonishing two high-pressure ports and five low-pressure ports, it is excellent for all-weathering diving. This scuba regulator has it all but the 360-degree swivel was remarkable and is a must to us all.

Alternative Dive Regulators

Alternate inflation regulators exceedingly functional and are integrated into the power inflator, removing the traditional octopus hose. Due to its small housings geared at keeping them ergonomically correct, they were challenging to make. Experts have given the nod to many of these inflation regulators on todays market, leaving expectations for more advancement in these dive regulator models.

What to Expect

After taking a look at many different models of dive regulators that were mostly connected to the Sherwood range, many questions have been answered on which best suits you. The scuba regulator is key to the aqua lung when diving so be sure you take the time to do some more proper research on the type of regulator that you need.
