I'm buying all new gear as I'm going the DIR route. I'm going to buy a set of Apeks regs. What's the best setup for an open water diver who will eventually take the GUE tech course and start tech diving in a year or two? I'm thinking about a pair of first/second stages and using the one first stage with both regs on the single tank setup until I start diving twins. Then I'll use both 1st stages. I don't think I want Y-valves on my tanks because some of friends borrow my tanks for their diving...or is it worth the redunancy?
What is the best performing apeks regs to get for the primary and backup? Ideally I think I need matched 1st stages, but a lower performace backup? I want to make sure I go the DIR route for my DIR-Fundamentals class which I will take in the future.
Are all the Apeks regs able to be taken apart underwater?
Please also send a copy of your reply to my email address since I'm in the Navy on a ship and internet connectivity is very rare.
Thanks.
