My girlfriend just bought an Atomic Z2 and an aqualung ABS octo to go with it. Im just not sure that they are compatible. What is the intermediate pressure for the AL ABS octo?

I was wondering how the Zurich compares to Oceanic's liberal algorithm??? Jeff

Just got it and trying it out tomorrow in shallow water to get the trim weighting correct! Infinity system with 40lb eclipse wing! and 6lb SS back plate. After seeing both the 30lb and 40lb wings next to each other inflated, there really is no reason to get the 30. They have nearly the same...

I am getting more into the tech setups for diving now due to the industrial strength materials and lack of failure points. I spearfish and the chance for $hit to go wrong is high. I had my quick release harness straps on my BC come off in 200 fsw which is no fun when a 70lb AJ is on the end of...

I also posted this in the regulator forum, but I wanted your opinions as well. I always have a back up regulator and since I am selling my other ones, I am looking for a backup. I currently have an A700/MK25 but I won't dive the cold dirty thermocline water with it. So i want a diaphragm reg. I...

I always have a back up regulator and since I am selling my other ones, I am looking for a backup. I currently have an A700/MK25 but I won't dive the cold dirty thermocline water with it. So i want a diaphragm reg. I like the idea of the Carbon 42 for when I go lobstering all day and jaw...

Title says it all. Been waiting since november of 2008 for two of them.

I have done some searching but I see way too varied opinions for applications that are not close to mine. I spearfish on almost every dive and want to add a pony bottle setup (just in case) to my rigging. I currently dive a Sequest balance BC(comfortable but not the best) with a single HP...

Did 2 wreck dives yesterday, one at 140 fsw the other at 150 fsw. Very impressed with how smooth the regulator breathes. I would say it is right on par with My AL Legend. Not sure which one breathes better. It is so close it doesn't even matter. It does have a tendency to free flow at the...

I purchased my Abyss 42 and abyss octo 7/27/09. My octo mesh grid keeps falling off during dives and it leaks air horribly. I have tried to contact the authorized dealer, scubastore, without any reply. I am supposed to have a replacement warranty within 3 months of purchase which is coming up...

I will give you guys an actual UNBIASED opinion of the reg and compare it to the regs I already dive. I am not a person who is loyal to any particular brand. I will be diving up to 200ft with this reg to test the limits with air/nitrox. I am sure I won't be disappointed, but we will see. I...

I will be purchasing one of these regulators this week. Are they all environmentally sealed? I am not sure about the 22. Do they all breathe the same? Does the Carbon try to float while in your mouth? I was going to purchased a Scubapro A700/MK25, but i just don't like the idea of not...

I sent it out to get checked by Mares who says it is fine, but I still think there is something wrong with my regulator. I just seems like I have to suck the air out of this thing. Is there something simple I can adjust to fix this on my own??? I am contemplating sell the reg. PS my proton...

I have narrowed my choices down to these. Not sure which one to go to, but I am leaning more toward the Apeks because of the enviromental sealing. But if someone could tell me the pro's and cons of each. I have researched as much as I could on the web. Jeff

or Mares Carbon??? Anyone dive all these regs to depths to 200 ft on Nitrox or Air??? I am not sure what my best option would be. I am interested in the A700, but don't know which first stage is better or if they differ in WOB. The Carbon by Mares seems like an interesting concept, and...

I bought two of these today for $100 each brand new with warranty (Divers Direct closeout sale). I was wondering if I could use them for deep water tech diving on a set of doubles. I want to get into tech diving and have heard they have been used on doubles, but I am not sure how well they...
