Hi, Well I have had the reg adjusted by another service centre in Darwin, Australia, and it is now working beautifully again. I am also a huge fan of Mares and I love my Proton Metal. My only hesitation in recommending this reg would be for divers in remote areas, it is not as easy to...

Hi Phil, Yes, I understand that I shouldn't adjust things myself. (Wishful thinking!) I am just frustrated because the reg (1st and 2nd stage) has just come back from being fully serviced by a Mares technician in Brisbane, Australia, and it is presenting EXACTLY the same problem...

Hi, I have a 1993 (approx) Suunto Companion that was handed down to me by my dad. Unfortunately, it was given to me in A1. In trying to change the altitude, the only thing I achieved was to change it (somehow?!) to A2, where it is now stuck!! Although in the Altitude menu I can get the...
