I am in the process of migrating my gear to a DIR setup. I currently use a Mares Abyss 1st and 2nd stage and am looking for advice for a backup reg to replace the Octo+ on my soon to be ebayed Zeagle.
Having read the DIR-F book I realize that the backup reg should be less prone to freeflow but should still be of similar high caliber to your primary.
Do most of you use the same brand regs for both the primary and backup 2nd stage? Why?
I still have a bright yellow Octo. Is this a bad choice because its color is misleading since it would not be the reg handed over in an OOA situation?
Thanks for the input,
Dave
