Content: 1. First Stage
The regulator first stage attaches the regulator to the scuba tank. Remember, a diving regulator reduces the air from the scuba tank in stages as it travels from the tank to the diver. The first stage of the regulator is named for its function: it accomplishes the first stage of pressure reduction by reducing the high-pressure air in the tank to an intermediate pressure. The air travels through the low pressure (LP) regulator hoses at this intermediate pressure; however, the air at this intermediate pressure is still at too high to be breathed directly and requires further reduction. 2. Primary Second Stage
The part of the regulator that a diver puts in his mouth is called the second stage. The regulator second stage is attached to the first stage by a low-pressure hose.
