Regulators

Getting your head around the jargon used when discussing scuba diving regulators can feel like learning Greek — or trying to understand the inner workings of a combustion engine. Whether you’re looking for a warm-water set to bimble around the Red Sea, or an extreme cold-water system for more demanding dives, the knowledgeable team at Mike’s Dive Store is always on hand to help.

A scuba diving regulator is the heart of your life-support system, delivering air smoothly and reliably at depth. It works by reducing high-pressure air from the cylinder to a breathable pressure in two stages, allowing you to breathe comfortably throughout the dive. A complete regulator setup typically includes a first stage, primary second stage, alternate air source (octopus), and a pressure gauge or transmitter connection — all working together to provide consistent air delivery as depth and conditions change.

Different regulator designs are built for different types of diving, from lightweight travel and warm-water use to cold-water, technical, and more demanding environments. Breathing performance, environmental sealing, hose routing, and ease of adjustment all play an important role in how a regulator feels and performs underwater.

This collection brings together scuba diving regulators chosen for reliability, comfort, and confidence — whether you’re a newly qualified Open Water diver buying your first set or an experienced diver looking for dependable performance dive after dive.
