This 2010 Testers’ Choice regulator is a powerhouse when it comes to performance. And it’s a great price. The balanced diaphragm first-stage Cayman is SUBGEAR’s top-of-the line regulator, yet it’s less than $500. In ScubaLab’s 2010 testing, the Cayman was the only reg in the under $500 category to reach all depth levels with a score of “above and beyond” in work-of-breathing evaluation. In fact, the more ScubaLab stressed the Cayman, the better it performed.
