If your just looking for the 2nd they have the orange in stock.

Deep 6 Signature Series Second Stage (Orange)

It looks like they do, until you try to add one to cart and it says they don't have enough for the order.

I gotta say....that orange Deep 6 Signature 2nd looks amazing! Definitely gets your attention. If I was in the market....

I went to the point of buying an orange and it never said out of stock

I agree, it seems to be working now, didn't yesterday or earlier today though.

Thanks again for all the input!

my plan for now is to loan my wife my reg set for her OW pool and classroom and then see how she is doing before investing in a reg set.

I bought her a BC because I think familiarity with the specifics of a BC are going to be a bigger challenge for her than breathing (i.e. the end user operational differences between regs are much less than between BCs)

where we go from there is all down to her enthusiasm level but the HOG and Deep6 (and DGX/Deep6) are at the top of the list...

JL...

DGX has a complete write-up on the differences between the signature branded Deep 6 regs...and the black DGX ''sqiggle'' Deep 6 sets...

No complimentary orange dry-box...which is not the best way to store your regs anyway...a reg bag that breaths...is better than a water-tight dry box...and no complimentary service kits...

DGX has all the kits...so you have the option of DIY...or boxing up your regs and sending them in for service...

Best...

The black DGX model is not the same model as the deep 6 “scribble” model if that’s what you were implying. They may look similar but that’s it’s. Physically they are different units. Deep 6 confirmed this. As well as getting parts included with the deep 6 scribble set. None with dgx

DB...Either way...the DGX Deep Six version...''scribble'' or not...is a better buy...with full support/as good performance...even without the orange dry-box...and complimentary service kits...which most purchasers are not qualified/experienced/tools and equipment on hand...to install anyway...

The Deep Six black/scribble version has fixed hose positioning...where the DGX version has a turret with an additional bottom turret LP hose fitting...ideal for doubles/sidemount...making the DGX version a ''that much better buy...

There are no complimentary service kits available with the Deep Six fixed scribble version...limited stock available...with no re-stocking...once they're gone...they're gone...they were a ''Black Friday'' add-on special...

Deep Six has had stock problems for a long time...DGX never has stock shortages...at least nothing that lasts longer than a few days...why wait months...it's only a scuba regulator...DGX/Scribble/Signature...red potato...white potato...brown potato...semantics...

Well you just kinda proved you have no idea what your talking about. First the deep six scribble DOES INCLUDE PARTS. I know because I own it and it came with both parts for the 1st stage and the 2nd as well. The deep 6 doesn’t come with a dry box. You can add one to your order if you’d like.
The scribble comes with full support directly through deep 6. Again they have parts kits on hand for them AND include them with your order. Dgx does not.
The scribble was added as a BF special but is NOW listed on the normal site as a standard item. You really think deep 6 is going to sell a regulator set that they can’t perform work on if something goes wrong? Knowing full and well deep six stands behind their products I don’t think they are going to suddenly screw over people who bought the scribbles. Not to mention the scribble set comes with the signature 2nd stage which is 100% fact better than the dgx version.
So why pay more money for an inferior system that doesn’t include parts and inferior 2nd stage and a 1st stage that isn’t a better performer. If all you care about is the turret then by all means there are even cheaper options out there than the dgx.
You can call all of them the “same” but that just shows you don’t know what your talking about. They aren’t the same. And the dgx version isn’t the better buy anyway you slice it.

Btw here are the parts that are included with the deep 6 set

Read Deep Six's write-up on their web site on the scribble...no kits...when they're gone...they're gone...Deep Six's write-up not mine...I may not have a crystal ball to see into what Deep Six does...but I can certainly read what they print...

Maybe they've changed their protocol since your purchase...or maybe you got a special...

I'll be surprised if Deep Six is still viable 48/64 months from now...then we'll all be looking for another inexpensive brand to replace them...has we all have in the past with similar ''Taiwan'' made brands...

Enjoy your regs...
