4. Announced a revolutionary new DIN ring retaining mechanism and sold it as an upgrade with a new color option.
Well..the replacement part is a new design...and I was looking at getting different color o-rings(actually looking at various types of O-rings to re-examine durability and while doing so said to myself "it would be fun and maybe even useful to start using different colours..like Scubapro did years ago, it was awesome as a repair tec)
As a non-safety critical issue, I personally have NO issues with Deep6 continuing to sell the regs for the reasons as stated by cerich. Remember, this is not a life threatening issue at all, everyone carries spares of these o-rings anyway as part of the save-a-dive kit (they are the same size as the yoke o-rings right? those fall out religiously)
DIN face O-rings are moist commonly 112 and some are 111, yoke are 014. As an aside, my new DIN face part will work with 111 and 112
I suspect that Deep6 is on the right path to become the Shearwater of dive gear.
Shearwater simply rocks. If I get to half as good I would be very happy. As an aside, as a fellow Canadian...I'm pretty proud of Shearwater
