The job of the regulator is to supply air to the diver at ambient pressure. The first stage of a regulator attaches to the tank and reduces the pressure of the air in the tank to ambient pressure plus a preset intermediate pressure. The air is then sent down the hose to the second stage. Here the pressure is reduced by that same intermediate pressure, leaving air at ambient pressure. Regulator first stages can be balanced or unbalanced. Balanced first stages are designed to breath as easily at low tank pressures and depths up to 90ft as when they are attached to a full tank at the surface. Most regulators provide one or two high pressure ports for pressure gauges and three or four low pressure ports for second stages, LP inflator hoses or dry suit hoses. Second stages offer external adjustments that can be made by the diver while diving to vary the performance of the regulator. The venturri assist is a two position adjustment that creates a venturi effect to optimize breathing performance and help prevent free flows at the surface. Another type of adjustment is the adjustable air flow knob or dial. This adjustment alters the flow rate to compensate for depth changes.
