Anytime XS, I was giving my honest opinion. When I showed my LDS owner the regulator, and told him what I paid for it, he told me that it was a hunk of crap and that he would refuse to service it if asked. This seems to be the general reaction from LDS owners who don't sell you their gear...

From what I have gathered the regulators are good performers and are definitely worth the price. Joel said something that I found very interesting, the first stages resemble an Apeks first more than it does a Dive Rite. Either way I am going to buy a set next month for sure. Thanks for all of...

I am considering buying this system for the GF. I have a Halcyon explorer and love it. I have dove the Eclipse wing and I love that as well. As for buying the AGIR I am going to need to hear some more positive feedback because I won't be able to try it in the water. Though, I must say, that...

First off I have to say that Salvo has come a long way with their product line. When i was looking at the regs I noticed a resemblance to my Dive Right regs. If anyone has any experience with these regulators please speak up. If these regs are decent performers then they are definitely...

I use the IDI Tri Metal Regulator on my singles setup. I works fine and I honestly have no complaints. Its a solid performer.

I also have a set of DR Regs. I have had them for two years now and I have honestly forgot the model number. I know they work well and I have no complaints.

LOL, that small guy looks tempting. Maybe I could bath my entire body in there. It looks like a possiblity. Then again, cavitation in the bones could be bad.

I am glad that you got what you needed with service that you would recommend. That LDS did something right for you and gave you something that you could not get online and so in the end it was worth the cost. Mike said it best with, "You got your moneys worth." They provided you with what you...

You are absolutely right Rick. I would love to see the LDS's competing and marketing for training and how they are better than the next and charging more than trying to push equipment sales. It just makes better sence, you are safer because you had better training.

It is funny how some people think that we as consumers OWE the LDS's something. I love the LDS I go to and I do buy a lot of stuff there, but if he can't compete then I get it elsewhere. I do not owe anyone anything and to think that I would have to buy something because I looked at someones...

This industry is definitely going through some shifting at the moment. Online retailers are getting the sales and the manufacturer's are trying to sink them. (Those who are not authorized dealers.) There is a struggle and we will have to see who is left standing when all is said and done. I...

I made the decision a long time ago not to dive with JDC after diving with them on varying occasions. My experiences told me to stay away, and the experiences of others confirmed my decision.Some instructors I know went diving with JDC and was told to do a drift dive with no float. The Dive...

I just found a bunch of old Cousteau videos in my roomates video collection. These things are from 1986. The sound quality is a little horrible but I am in the process of putting them on my computer. Each video is around 500 MB in size so they aren't that big.

Awesome fill stations guys. I can't wait until I finally graduate, make big bucks, and can build my own fill station. Keep up the good blending and just know that there are those of us who are dripping with envy. :crafty:

I have the Oxyhacker's Guide and it is awesome, so is the Regulator Maintenance and Repair Guide. Vance just writes awesome books and I recommend them to everyone who just wants to know more about diving.

Vance has done it once again, impressing the hell out of me with his writing. This book is awesome and is really easy to follow. I must say that this is a must have for anyone who is interested in learning more about regulators all the way to those who are interested in opening them up. I...

Can you successfully install a light bulb? If so, then you are more than capable of installing a valve. You should tighten the valves as much as you can by hand. Tightening them more than necessary with wrench stresses the threads. Watch for cross threading, this could destroy the valve and...

The Scuba pro bottom timer and the OMS bottom timer or the exact same thing. I would go with whichever one you could find cheaper. I will definitely second the SCUBA toys first if at all possible. They are truly wonderfult to deal with and they will match any price.

I just got one tank back from hydro and I O2 cleaned it. I am going to be cleaning my tanks with every visual.

I was wondering if anyone knew where you could buy some burst discs for a reasonable price? I would like to change them every time I VIP my tanks, which is twice a year.
