We'll talk endlessly about center balanced second stages, starting with the venerable Scubapro Pilot and finishing with the last regulator you'll ever need to buy: the Atomic TFX. You know the drill by now. We'll probably run overtime. And when you give up because it's getting too late? I'll post the link here later to a YouTube recording.

Cheers!

Looking forward to this! Finally, the long awaited homage to center balanced regs!

Me, too!

Also, I'm heading to the lake this afternoon for the weekend. Hopefully, I will fit it in to do a quick dip with my TFX and finally experience the wonder.

Looking forward to your report! No matter how bad the vis, take one for the team!

It won't be a viz issue. I'm teaching an Intro to Tech student. I'll be diving doubles. And working. But, I'm thinking I might get away either with one dive with my TFX single tank rig mounted to my right post. Or just put it on there after a dive with my student and jump back in just for a few minutes to try it.

That would be nice, as it will let me directly compare the TFX 2nd, the Ti2 Octo that's on the same 1st stage, and also compare to my M1 that will be attached to the left post.

Which reminds me. I need to throw my new small pin spanner wrench in a bag that I'm taking, so I can possibly adjust the cracking pressure while I'm there....

 

[rsingler]

Yep! And a screwdriver.

 

[James79]

I might have something for the venerable D400 too.........

Cue the "Jaws" track...
