Dive Rite Balanced Backup/Octopus/Deco Regulator Stages

On This Page: RG2015 Balanced 2nd Stage | RG1208 Balanced 1st Stage | Pricing

The RG2015 Balanced Second Stage is a tried and true workhorse regulator and has performed admirably over the years. Pneumatically balanced second stages have become regulator of choice for as a backup, deco bottle and octopus to deliver top performance regardless of depth or tank pressure. An adjustable Venturi lever and inhalation resistance knob allows the diver to fine tune inhalation effort and breathing resistance based on dive conditions or diver preference. The RG2015 comes standard with a 40-inch hose and a choice of yellow, blue, green, or black interchangeable cover.

Choosing the Best Backup 2nd Stage Traditionally, the backup second stage regulator has been a slightly lower performance unbalanced design because it was thought to be less likely to free flow, was more trouble-free, and lower cost. However, today most experienced divers have concerns about using a lower performance regulator under conditions that forced a switch to the backup. Our experience is that the high-performance balanced RG2015 second stage is very resistant to free flow when it has the venturi setting on pre-dive and the adjustment knob set low; field experience has shown the RG2015 to be quite trouble-free as well. Because the balanced RG2015 is attractively priced, most divers are now choosing a high-performance backup/octopus/deco regulator.

The RG1208 First Stage is a balanced diaphragm design featuring four standard size low-pressure 3/8-inch ports on a swiveling turret, and two standard size high-pressure 7/16-inch ports. Its symmetric design and port alignments support a huge variety of mounting orientations and hose routings. It's a good choice as both primary/backup first stage. Although we don't recommend flooding your first stage, the Dive Rite first stage tolerates flooding very well, making it a good choice as a deco/stage/reserve first stage. Suitable for use in water to 50°F, it also has an ice diving kit available. It comes standard with a 300-BAR DIN connector; a version with a native yoke fitting is also available. Nitrox-ready.
