The Best Regulator Set For Recreational Scuba Divers: The XT Advanced Open Water Package from Dive Rite. Here's the Divers Ready review... dived, tested and filmed.

(Yes, this is an affiliate link. Purchases made through this link may earn me a small commission at no additional cost to you. Thanks for supporting our content.)

If you're looking for a feature-packed reg set that has all the accessories (1st stage, 2 second stages, hoses, swivel ball mount, bolt snaps, necklace and SPG) all included with great performance features and a low cost.... this is it! In my opinion, the best value reg set on the market today.

These regs will work for any recreational dive, but I would highly recommend them to newly qualified Open Water divers looking to buy their first regulators because you don't have to think! Everything you need is included. Even a reg bag!

You guys love dive gear review videos! Please remember I am at the mercy of which companies are willing to send me gear to review. I have a ton of new dive gear and product reviews for all you scuba gear junkies coming down the pipe.

As always, thanks for watching.

Hi James. Thanks for the honesty with the sponsorship. In my mind, anyone who wants to have their kit reviewed, has pride and faith in their products. I’ve actually already bought some diverite kit (hydrolite bcd) and can’t wait to receive it! Thanks again for the great content!

[Fronabarger]

I have been diving mine for over a year now and they have held up great. The biggest reason for my purchase was because pretty much all their gear is focused more towards tec diving and that is a path I plan to take in the future. The other is them being an American owened and operated company.
I have their trans pac BCD and the fins and so far I like everything. The fins did take a bit to get used to after diving with mares fins previously.

Awesome video James - thanks… Based on this setup and video I have already ordered new hoses for my wife and myself. 120/56 cm setup for us both to replace the factory setup of 90/72 cm hoses. We are both SSI Stress and Rescue divers and this setup support our training and mindset of primary donate better in every day diving. We choose the 120 cm hose over 100 due to a lot of cold water drysuit diving.

[jamesaurich]

great info. I dive the transpak in both recreational and side mount. I have both there regs ( older version ) as well as others. And as you stste they are very good for almost all aspects of diving that you may consider. Lamar does a great job in developing all of his gear and accessories and tests everything before introducing to market. good advice to your followers.

8:47 I’m the kid on the middle right who looks startled and weird 😂 I did not expect somebody to come swimming up with the a giant camera
These regs are so awesome!

[lllooolll]

A big reason review videos shouldn't be biased is because these are life support systems. If you were to just tell us all the good of a system or kit and ignore the negatives because of a sponsorship then it could lead to death. Thank you for being as unbiased as possible.

YES, YOUR TIMING COULDN'T BE BETTER
I am looking to purchase my own regulator set this coming christmas so this is perfect timing

[bwoodley]

Thank you for the review! I was back and forth on the different brands and models and your video helped me make the choice. I took the reg set to 130' feet last weekend here on Guam and it breathed beautifully.

[spikehealy]

solid setup. I like the primary donate. Although I dive a 7ft hose for recreational diving. No diving in restrictions. But I like the room it gives me in alt air shares. And with a bit of practice it is easy to manage and will set me up well for any future diving progressions.

[Robert_H_Diver]

Diverite makes fantastic gear. Great content James.

[richadcock]

Hello James, I have been thoroughly enjoying your videos since I have discovered your page! Thanks for the great info on the Dive Rite reg set. I've been considering purchasing a back up set (cause you never know). I currently use HOG with the D1X first stage, HOG Classic 2.0 second stage, and the HOG REC-TEC Octo. It's a great set and has the features you mentioned on the Dive Rite.

[BingSurjawan]

Bought this last year as a 1st and single 2nd stage set up only, without octo and no spg. DIN connector. Comes with a nice braided hose. No boltsnap in the package. The rotating turet is very nice feature. I add a 60⁰ swivel on the 2nd stage hose joint, makes it a whole lot easier to move around. The included longer bitetabs mouthpiece does not fit me well so I replaced it with a standard shorter mouthpiece. The 2'nd stage can be reversed to left hose routing if needed. A good startup set which can convert to a sidemount setup if you want. Overall a nice reg set and also to consider how it was priced compared to other brands, a very good purchase for me.

[teddy]

Very cool intro with great shots! well done .

[scubacro]

I know you work with Dive Rite, but I think the best combination for recreational diving is XTX50 second stage with DXT first stage and XTX40 octo, you can use any SPG that you like, it doesn't matter, just let it be a good brand (ScubaPro, Apex, Mares, Poseidon ...)

[watermanveteran]

I have it, my only change besides what you noted was the hose length we’re slightly too short for a taller person. But for sure is the best bang for buck!

[YouTube_user]

I like regulators that need little to no servicing. I can see a lot of service requirements in these regs. Swivel turret, ball joints and the like. They are also another point of failure.
You are correct about when an out of air situation happens. They will usually always take your reg from your mouth. Your octo on a necklace is much easier to find. PADI have a weird way of ignoring reality with the donation of air. Octo hoses should always be at least 40 inches or more, to keep that panicked, out of air diver at arms length. Thanks for the review.

[bansiphansalkar]

I have Deep6 regulators. All the features one can think off, they have been working very well for past 2 years and they sell service kits too - so I service my own regs.

[matthiasmaiwald]

One of the things that I am interested in when it comes to regulators is medium- to long-term serviceability. Although that may not be an extent that is necessary, I bought my first regulator set (from a major brand) second-hand in 1988, and it is still serviceable, i.e. the service technicians can still easily get the parts, 34 years later. It is also a regulator set that I would still dive today without hesitation, although the breathing is not as good as today's top regulators (it is comparable to today's budget sets). Conversely, I purchased second-hand a ~20-year-old regulator set from another quite reputable manufacturer, mainly because I was interested in the design of the 2nd stage, only to find out that there are no more service parts available, and it cannot be serviced. That means, regulators from certain manufacturers become mere trash after a certain while, while others have a track record of long-term serviceability.

[mikedavies]

I watched the "How to attach a boltsnap" vid when you put it out. That was b4 my OW. I used that vid to attach my boltsnaps where I wanted. I just had the knot I tied let go. Mind you, it had over 200 dives on it, so I am good with that.

[andrecandrade]

I have the same regs for my doubles and absolutely love them. I actually like the way they breathe better than the Apeks. BTW: great camera work at the beginning of the video!
