    Calypso III still usable?

    Somebody gave me an Aqualung Calypso III a few years ago, and I'm thinking about using it. I'd be using it in sediment-filled water, maybe doing some hand jetting. Is there anything I need to know?

    Whoops - I attached it to the bottle, and it started hissing as soon as I turned it on. So I guess it's no good.

    I know of several guys who regularly use them. They are fine regulators, if you can find someone with the parts and knowledge to rebuild them.
