What makes a great regulator?  The difference between a "good" regulator and a "great" regulator can make or break the enjoyment of any dive experience.  Comfort, reliability, and high performance are the most important attributes that a regulator should exhibit.  Every great regulator should make breathing effortless.  Air should be delivered easily and consistently, on demand, and in the quantities required.  And through technology and design, your regulator must be completely reliable. 

Rec Diving's annual trip to Bonaire was a week filled with fun - both topside and underwater. As always, the diving and snorkeling was easy and relaxing. We enjoyed critters galore on the boat each day and on the house reef at Divi Flamingo Beach Resort. Schools of jacks, squid, frog fish, turtles, tarpon, barracuda, sea horses, moray eels and a very friendly octopus were among our favorite sightings. Bonaire's reefs are healthy and teeming with fish. We enjoyed nightly sunset dives and even a few dives at sunrise!

During our Rec Diving trip to the Straits of Mackinac, WXYZ-TV videographer Chris Jones captured his dives on video with an incredibly compact Hero head-mounted camera. It was really cool! Rec Diving trip leader Frank Aloia shared with Chris his knowledge about the history of wrecks, and we were all excited to see some of our favorite dives featured on the local news.
