Hi there,
My wife and I have SS1 octo/inflators on our BCs and I was planning on getting a pair of Oasis regs (for their anti-dry-mouth attributes) and fitting them with a 3rd party 4' hose (to go under the arm) and swivel. Figured this would make it moist-breathing (as in dry-mouth) reg that would be easy to hand off in an OOA situation.
Am I just re-inventing the Maximus? Until today I hadn't realized that the Maximus has "moisture retention" fins and what appears to be a much beefier swivel than what I'd planned on (can it still be a lightweight 2nd stage with that?)
What exactly IS the difference between the Maximus and the Oasis second stage?
And, is that purge plate uncomfortably stiff?
Many thanks, in advance.
