Overpriced and unsafe: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled the Atomic Aquatics scuba regulator due to defects that posed a drowning hazard to users. |
Diving equipment has come a long way since Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Emile Gagnan co-invented the first diving regulator over 50 years ago. In addition to ongoing refinement of basic designs and the introduction of new and better materials, innovations such as dive computers, weight-integrated BCs and nitrox capable equipment have improved and enhanced both diving safety and comfort. Today, you can select from a multitude of designs offered by scores of dive gear manufacturers that deliver better performance, comfort and safety. Of course, all of these improvements come at a price but if you take care of your gear, it should last for years.
