Oceanic Delta IV for Tech?

Jimmer:

Hi everyone, I'm currently diving a Zeagle ZX-DSV on my single tank setup, but am in the process of switching to doubles to get used to them before I start my tech training next year or so. I was originally planning on buying a second Zeagle for my backgas, but my shop has a Delta IV from Oceanic sitting on the shelf at a price a fair bit less than the Zeagle. Has anyone had experience with this reg in a tech diving environment?

Thanks, Jim

Cerich, do you recommend the same regs in all locations, ie. primary and secondary backgas being the same as all stage bottles as well? Or does that just apply to backgas?

It's good to see an instructor validate my thinking. I'm buying equipment for my tech setup and just purchased my second Delta4/FDX10 along with the din conversions. The one I have been using all year works great down as far as I have been (127'). I sucked on it hard at that depth to see what it would do and it delivered gas easily.

Cerich, I'm definetly interested in giving Oceanic a chance alongside my Zeagle for a bit to see which one I prefer to use on the backgas, and then swap the other one onto my stage bottle after I get a matching set of regs for the backgas. So now onto the consumer based part of things, what is Oceanic's warranty on their regs, and do you have any sort of parts program the way that Zeagle has?

Thanks for the help,
Jim

One more question, is there any truth to the rumours I've heard about there being a tech specific line of gear from Oceanic? And if so would I be better off waiting to see what is there instead of buying this Delta 4?
