What is a Diving Regulator?
A diving regulator is a device that connects the scuba tank to the diver’s mouthpiece. It is the main piece of diving equipment that allows them to breathe underwater.
It consists of two main stages:
First Stage
the first stage and the second stage. The first stage attaches to the scuba tank and reduces the high pressure air to an intermediate pressure.

Second Stage
The second stage is the mouthpiece that the diver breathes from. It further reduces the pressure to a level that is safe for the diver.

Diving Regulator Accessories
In addition to the main stages of the diving regulator, there are also various accessories. These can enhance the performance and safety of the regulator. These include:
Octopus Holder
Alternate air sources, such as octopus regulators. This allow a diver to share air with their buddy in case of an emergency.
Other accessories include pressure gauges, which display the amount of air remaining in the tank. Diving computers, which monitor the diver’s depth and time underwater.
