First thing. I currently have an older aqualung micra. I've been happy with it until about a week ago. My buddy accidently popped me in the reg and pushed the purge in. I was stuck with a mean free flow and I could not get it to stop. I eventually had to grap my own octo and do a bit of karate to get it unstuck.
I've never had that happen before and am a bit concerned and think that maybe a different model reg would not do that. I've spoken to a couple of shops and I've been steered toward the oceanic Omega II. I'm a recreational diver but like to get about 100 feet down or so on a rare occasion.
1. Do you think I need a new reg or does that sound normal for a hard punch in the purge?
2. If I need a new reg, how do people feel about the Oceanic Omega II?
3. What else might you recommend for roughly the 250 buck range?
Any help would be greatly appreciated in this great search for my new reg!
