Atomic Aquatics may not as familiar as some of the other brands we’ve featured here, but they’ve been making a splash in the dive gear market since the 90s. The ‘Z’ in the product name stands for Zirconium which the company uses as plating over the first stage’s chrome and brass bases.
Although the Z2 is among the most affordable of Atomic’s regs, it still offers the same performance and exceptional breathability of their more expensive regulators.
Our Overall Review
Things we like:
-
Breathes better than regs with a much higher price point.
-
Sleek and slick design with doesn’t compromise functionality.
-
Customizable upon order.
-
Durable and can take a few hard knocks.
Things we don't like:
The included hose is quite stiff but this is really the only thing letting this reg down.
