May Ang –
As a beginner diver, I’ve had the pleasure of trying out the R-800 / S-12 Regulator. To be honest, it exceeded my expectations! The regulator is incredibly easy to use, and the compact design made it perfect for my smaller diving setup. However, I did struggle with the HP ports a bit, but it was a minor issue. Overall, I’m thoroughly impressed with this product!
Natalie Leong –
Would love to know more about the maintenance requirements for this regulator.
Tan Shu Ching –
I’ve recently upgraded to the R-800 / S-12 Regulator, and the difference is night and day compared to my old regulator. The compact design makes it perfect for traveling, and the balanced piston delivers a huge amount of airflow. If you’re in the market for a new regulator, I highly recommend this one!
Melissa Tan –
Are the 2 HP and 4 LP Ports customizable?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your review and question about the Tusa R-800 / S-12 Regulator. Unfortunately, the 2 HP and 4 LP ports on this regulator are not customizable. The configuration of these ports is a fixed design aspect of the regulator’s first stage, which is optimized for performance and compact size.
Lau Wei Ming –
Would you recommend this regulator for a beginner diver who plans to dive in warmer waters?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Lau Wei Ming. While our Tusa R-800 / S-12 Regulator is a high-quality device, we would recommend it for more advanced divers due to its complex features. However, it’s not entirely impossible for a beginner to use it. If you’re a beginner, we suggest starting with simpler regulators and working your way up to this one once you gain more experience. Warmer waters can be challenging for some regulators, but our R-800 / S-12 Regulator is designed to perform well in various water conditions.

Can you confirm if the regulator comes with a pressure gauge?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out to us about the Tusa R-800 / S-12 Regulator. Unfortunately, the product description does not explicitly mention a pressure gauge. After double-checking, we found that the R-800 First Stage Regulator comes with a gauge port for attaching an optional pressure gauge. However, the pressure gauge is not included in the standard package. If you need a pressure gauge, we recommend purchasing it separately. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Siti Nurhannah –
I’ve been using the R-800 / S-12 Regulator for a few months now, and I must say it’s been a game-changer. The airflow is superb, and the balanced piston first stage is incredibly efficient. However, I do wish the regulator came with a smaller second-stage hose to make it easier to store.
Nabilah Aulia –
I was initially impressed with the R-800 / S-12 Regulator, but over time, I’ve started to notice that it can be a bit bulky when compared to other regulators on the market. Additionally, the LP ports could be a bit more accessible. However, the superior performance and quality do make up for these minor flaws. Overall, it’s a solid 4-star product!
