Took my vintage Mistral double hose regulator for a spin at Ft Wetherill on Sunday. 18 lbs of weight was just about perfect weight with my 5mm Henderson suit. She breathed a bit harder than I expected, but for a 61 year old single stage regulator it went pretty well. I was in the water for 24 minutes, max depth was 25’. I didn’t breath down the tank far enough to need the J-valve, leaving the water with 750 psi. Ross, who was my buddy on the dive had trouble keeping up. With just a tank, mask and fins, you can move around pretty freely.
