    Aqualung Legend ACD regulator and Octo

    This reg has still not sold. The potential buyer has not yet confirmed that he wants the reg, because he is concerned about cold water operating temperatures. It is still up for the first one that can send funds.

    Aqualung Legend ACD regulator and Octo

    For sale: One Aqualung Legend LX ACD regulator and a Legend Octo. Leisure Pro sells the reg for $430, and the Octo for $235, meaning that they have a value of $665 new. I am asking $300 for the pair. I bought these in September for my girlfriend's use for $550 at Diver's Direct, and she and I...

    Braided hoses

    My girlfriend just got an Aqualung Legend with a Legend Octo. It comes with braided hoses, but they are black and she wants pink ones. I was able to find and replace the low pressure hose with a pink one. We are leaving the octo hose yellow, but I need a pink, braided power inflator hose. Anyone...

    Regulator and LDS issues

    What did I do? I got them to reduce the IP on the MR22, returned the octo and got a store credit, which I immediately used to buy a trip on a boat in West Palm. I bought a MARES octo elsewhere today. I think I am still going to buy that Aqualung Legend from the other shop as funding allows, but...

    R095 question

    I brought my regulator in for service three weeks ago and it cost me $110. It is a ten year old Mares MR22 Abyss and I have done 4 dives since service. The dives were all between 80 and 100 feet. There were no problems, until my octopus died on the last dive. I bought a used Scubapro R095...

    Regulator and LDS issues

    The regulator problem is, according to the shop, that 145 psi for an IP is too high for the ScubaPro octo. They say that the IP should be 135 psi. They are changing the diaphragm on it, and that is that. I will be checking this story out.

    No. It doesn't. Here is my other issue with the LDS: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/thumbs-down/468402-underhanded-tactics.html

    Regulator and LDS issues

    Lots of questions: 1 When the purge is pressed on the Scubapro Octo, it would free flow to the point where it will blow dry your hair, until you plug the mouthpiece. 2 The 15 y/o reg was a Mares MR12S. Can't remember what the second stage was. The valve in that second, they said couldn't be...

    Regulator and LDS issues

    My old Octo was a Mares Proton. The exhaust tee and diaphragm cover cracked and fell off during my last dive. I can't complain, it cost me $80 ten years ago. Not counting a 2 year hiatus for medical reasons, it probably made close to a thousand dives, so I think I got my money's worth.

    Diver missing on Spiegel Grove - Key Largo Florida

    It took me a bit to reply, because I wanted to make sure I had some facts. I spoke with Jim's instructor, who has himself been around the block more than a few times, having been an instructor under Hal Watts. Jim is a properly trained and certified wreck diver, and has been for a few years. He...

    Diver missing on Spiegel Grove - Key Largo Florida

    My opinion here, having known Jim since 1994 and Joe since 2011, is that sometimes things go wrong. Both of these guys were well trained with plenty of experience, and from what sterlunk said, were properly equipped and conditions were favorable. What happened here, as with many dive accidents...

    Diver missing on Spiegel Grove - Key Largo Florida

    As I feared, it turns out that I knew both divers who were involved. I knew Jim Dorminy some 16 years ago, when he was employed by a neighboring fire department. He was pretty experienced as a diver. His dive partner was a guy I have seen around at conferences and such. Neither of them were...

    Diver missing on Spiegel Grove - Key Largo Florida

    The Sheriff’s Office dive team is searching for a missing diver who was last seen deep inside the USS Spiegel Grove, a 510-foot Navy ship that was intentionally sunk in 2002 as an artificial reef about six miles off the coast of Key Largo, Florida. Diver missing inside Spiegel Grove -...

    Elite T3 PC download issue

    My girlfriend is a new diver. She just got an Elite T3. Her first dive with the computer was 84 feet for 19 minutes. When we downloaded the dive, the profile shows a 10:15 second dive. It looks like the computer is recording every 30 seconds, but it is being time stamped as if it were every 15...

    Death at Blue Springs State Park, Florida

    Here is a better story: Vansickle told investigators he removed his air regulator from his mouth and passed it to Slack. The technique is known as buddy breathing -- two divers share the air through one regulator. After about 30 seconds, Vansickle motioned for Slack to return the regulator...
