I've been working to streamline my setup for some time now. I've changed hose configurations a few times and had been pretty happy with a long primary on a 45' bend, and a short secondary on a necklace. The necklace makes for an extra step when donning or doffing kit. I had seen AIR2 type devices before and decided to pick one up. I've already got a hoseless air integrated computer and the air2 enables me to get down to only two hoses on my regulator.
This post isn't specifically about the AIR2 brand, but about the regulators that integrate onto the power inflator hose in general. Do you like them or not?
Now, to qualify - I mean only for OW recreational dives. I'm curious to hear comments about any kind of diving with one, but the poll relates specifically to these types of dives with air2 type devices. Please don't take this off topic with reasons why you don't like hoseless air integrated. I'm aware there are split opinions, and that's not the subject of this question.
I tried one in the pool at an LDS and it seemed to breathe as good as a "real" regulator. It was fairly comfortable despite having a puny mouthpiece. I bought the thing, and will dive it this Sunday for real.
