A few. I used US Divers regulators for somethink like 30 years. I still
have serveral. I presently use a Scuba Pro. Mine is a Mk 20 first stage
with a G 250 second stage. The current favorite first stage is a Mk 25.
Pair it with any second stage you like. Apeks is also a popular brand these
days and should be considerably cheaper than Scuba Pro. Atomic tends to be
very pricey, but also has a good reputation.

Yep. The ones on my big boat and the 15 footer include all the charts for
south Florida, including depth contours, etc. They're quite sophisticated
and very accurate. The rest of them are good enough to get me home, or back
to the boat, or whatever.
