I'm a big fan of my Delta 4 reg, as many of my posts have stated, but I'm quite miffed at how much it costs to buy a 7' hose. It's a totally proprietary system and is very expensive to purchase a hose that fits the odd sized port. I'm going to be out 180+ dollars to put 2 hoses on $900 worth of regs.
I'm a big believer in capitolism and I'm all for Oceanic trying to make some money, but at this point I'm ready to cut bait and sell my regs on ebay and purchase some dive rite regs that I can buy standard parts for. I cannot buy spare parts for my current regs in case of a failure at the dive site, and that's another problem for those of us who choose to go against the grain and use Oceanic products for technical and excursion diving. I'd really hate to have to relegate these regs to deco bottle use only.
I realize you as an employee cannot set prices but you can guide those above you to make the right choice.
