145 PSI Explorer Scuba Diving Dive 2nd Stage Regulator Octopus Hookah, Hookah Dive Regulator

This is an awesome little regulator at any price, but amazing at $25! I've had US Divers and SCUBA Pro before and this feels better. It likes the pressure of at least 110 psi, but still works down around 80, just less effortless to breathe. I'm running a Dewalt oil free compressor through a 5 micron filter and 100' of hose to it, and it works great.

picked this up to help me get debris out of my swimming pool drain without having to go up and down 100x. this thing works great on my oilless air compressor to get me down to my pool drains to inspect and clean out. I would not trust this for anything deeper than like 15ft. tastes terrible- i highly recommend rinsing the hose out with some water under the sink for 5 minutes, then let your air supply blow thru it for 5 minutes before first use.

I got this for a non-diving purpose. It seems to be of sufficient quality for its intended use (which I HOPE and THINK isn't actual untethered SCUBA diving). It has a nice Korean hose and solidly attached fittings. The material is for the most part light weight. I would not trust my life or safety with it. There is a reason that "real" ones cost 20x more than this one.

I bought this for using with surface supplied air to clean the bottom of my sailboat. I regulated my supply air to 60 psi and that seems to work well for just a few few under water. I haven’t tried to go deeper. I saw some of the other reviews mention the bad taste from the black hose that comes with the regulator. I thought those reviewers must be picky but they were right! The air coming through the regulator tastes like a tire store times ten! It’s enough to make me want to cough a little. I’ll be changing out the hose but overall this regulator is good value for the price.

Got this to decide if I enjoy diving enough to spend on a higher end long term regulator. Been using this regulator as the secondary second stage with a palantic din first and second stage. Took it on several dives in the last month since buying. Its been down to 60 ft and it works. Does what a $1000 regulator does. Cant tell what the long term reliability is but I wouldn't trust it and could afford to buy a new one at this price. Im likely getting a higher end set for the peace of mind but this regulator will do the job if you need a regulator to clean the boat or a one-time use.

Took me a while to put this into service, but it's doing the job! I run a small dive service and had some other divers mention this one to me. I finally attached it to my flexline, to a tank on the dock, and it offers me up one more option for diving under boats. In fact, 2 days ago I used this setup to inspect the bottom of a crabbing boat. Somedays it's nice to not have a bunch of equipment hanging from your body, or the noise of a compressor traveling down the hose to annoy me the whole dive long. . I actually fit this into one of my FFM's.... an OTS Spectrum... and with a few dives now, I'm happy with it. Now... I'm only diving at most, 14ft deep, in 52 degree water, murky bay water at that. Time will tell how it handles these conditions. Perhaps I'll come back with an update down the road.

This came with the connections loose from assembly, and the hose was way too short for practical use. I purchased this as an auxiliary 2nd stage regulator set up for your buddy. You get what you pay for. So there I was at my scuba refresher course and as soon as I opened the valve to my tank, air hissed out at two different places on this. Thankfully the scuba instructor was able to take it to the back and use a wrench to tighten up the connections. leaks underwater are a huge safety concern. So he let me know the shop can not service this because the brand isn't sold at the dive shop. Fair enough, but when doing the buddy breathing emergency ascend up, the hose was shorter than my primary regulator. It was quite embarrassing when the instructor asked where I got it from and let me know you must not like your buddy to much if this is what your providing them with to survive. Yeah, so that day after the class I returned it. Its truly is China made Junk. Not everything from China is sub-standard, but this is why China has the low quality reputation they have. Also, the scuba instructor let us know that flow tests of regulators have been done, all the brand name regulators have been shown to flow and flow out just fine, but the off brand regulators, they flow in but when you exhale or breath out, they don't flow properly and there is residual CO2 with every breath. So that was it for me on this one.

Works great -- I just use it in my pool; nothing too deep, and it does the job.
