Review Summary

This is objectively a great reg, which should meet the demands of most divers! Pros: Solid & durable but lightweight construction, good adjustment options (venturi and resistance knob), high flow and good performance in all positions. Cons: The 1st stage is a bit heavy and could use better port positioning (especially if you use wireless air transmitter), the 'Dry Air Demand' system doesn't offer the smoothest or most consistent feeling for the breath- you definitely feel & hear the mechanics in a way thats much more a 'Ford' than a 'Mercedes'. I bought this as an extra reg for friends & family to use when diving, and it meets my needs and expectations for them. I had to rank as a '4' instead of '5', because this regulator has received so much praise, including Scuba Magazine choice of the year for 2020, but it doesn't really provide the category killing performance you would expect. For a similar price point, I would recommend instead trying the Mares 52x (or similar), Aqualung Calypso, or Oceanic Alpha 10.

Genesis Scuba proudly introduces the Prana Regulator and Octo, a top-performing regulator designed for extreme conditions. Building on the tradition of the GS2000, it offers excellent breathing performance, durability, longevity, and style. The first stage features a dry environmentally sealed flow-by piston with patented Dry Air Demand (DAD) technology, ensuring peak performance in all diving conditions. The balanced second stage ensures smooth breathing regardless of depth or tank pressure.
The innovative Genesis first stage regulator incorporates DAD, a unique flow-by piston design that mechanically balances air, delivering exceptional breathing characteristics at both full and low cylinder pressures. Made from marine-grade chrome-plated brass, this first stage regulator is durable and features a fail-safe mechanism with a patented dry seal internal mechanism to keep components clean and contamination-free in any diving environment.
The DAD function increases the regulator's intermediate pressure without requiring oils or grease, keeping the regulator virtually free from salt, sand, or chlorine contamination. Preferred by repair technicians, it includes two high-pressure ports and four low-pressure ports for gauges and accessories. The tee-shaped design minimizes contact with the back of the head and features a high-capacity inlet filter for smooth air delivery to the second stage.
The Genesis Prana Balance 2nd Stage delivers effortless breathing with a pre-dive/dive switch to eliminate sensitivity in challenging conditions while maintaining high performance. Its durable, non-corrosive plastic housing and precise single valve tube construction ensure reliability. The adjustable breathing resistance and unique second stage adjustment knob provide smooth, easy breathing throughout your dive. The orthodontic mouthpiece offers comfort and reduces jaw fatigue. The regulator comes with an owner's manual.
