    Is this a decent deal for 2 regs and 2 computers? =$250

    2 Beuchat VX10 Evolution Regulators and 2 Aeris Atmos Sport computer dive modules(2) along with air gauges

    Seller says they have been on about 50 dives, and have been serviced yearly

    Price looks great if that is $250 for everything. Even if it were $250 per set, it would be pretty good with the computers. I know very little about Beuchat regs. I would expect that they should work OK as long as you have a place to get them serviced. If it is $250 for the lot, you could throw the regs in the trash (or ebay them) and still have a good deal. IMO

    About 4 years ago, I looked at buying a used Beuchat reg. I called Beuchat to ask some questions about the reg, and the lady who answered started yelling at me that if I didn't buy it from dealer, she would do everything in her power to make sure no one would service it for me. She was both angry and rude.

    After that, not only would I never buy a Beuchat reg, but I look for opportunities to pass this story on to any of their perspective customers.

    I don't remember. I looked up the number on the internet. This was about 4 years ago.

    Do you think you could get someone who was not a scuba diver to even believe that story??

    Yeah, I understand. Some guy at Ford Motor Company told me the same thing!!!!

    No. The scuba industry is a strange bird...
