well you have to ask yourself what is confined water.....5-10 feet deep in a calm quarry is the same as 5-10 feet in the pool if you ask me

Id like to see a resurgence of the metal casings as well ....can you imagine a metal S600....now that would be a real divers reg....as durable and shock resistant as the BA and all of the max flow engineering of the S600....I guess SP would retail the 2nd stage alone for about $1000 give or take

if all they want is 100 give it to them and dont worry about the hassle.... Ih ave seen some very scarry things when people who are not trained service their own regs

if you do not want to buy this reg give me the name of your dive shop and Ill buy it...the X650 was not discontinued by SP

I dive in canada with wtaer temps from 28-36 degrees F in the winter and I dive a mk25 and my brother dives a mk 2 (we dive up to 130 feet) and neither of us have ever had a free flow with SP regs.

there are a few different schools of though on this subject... First in my opinion there is no need to use a reg that has not been made by scubapro so in my opinion if you are using SP for you back gas also use them for any stage or deco bottles that you have. REG PERFORMANCE there are...

it really does depend on the other gear that you are using.... I have a mk25 and mank mk5's I wear it pointing down like in the above picture because I like the hose routing especially if I am wearing my doubles but either way is fine...I would however be worried about possible strain on...

well this has become an interesting thread.... first of you should only buy a titanium reg if you are a res\creational dive intending to travel a lot and use air as you gas of choice....titanium regs (and I know there are a few of them out there that claim to be O2 compatible so dont flame me on...

this topic seems to come up a lot on these forums... My feeling is this (i have conducted many solo dives as deep as 100 feet and as long as 90 mins) you only need one reel screw up in even shallow water to really ruin your day. For instance I was diving of of the Ogden Point Breakwater in...

quite a few things can be said about diving with older reg or regs that have been discontinued....I for one dive with a SP balanced adjustable as my primary 2nd stage and a S600 as my back-up I have serviced both of these regs myself so there is no difference in the way they have been...

friends dont let friends dive with dacor

buy a mk25/s600 it moght be expensive but if you are going tech you will eventually have to buy it or something on that scale anyway. besides its a great reg call Aaron at the Ogden Point Dive center in Victoria and he can set you up with a great deal and as with all scubapro parts for life.

think of tank pressure like density and then t becomes a little bit easier. When they list the "size" of a tank they mean the volume of air it would hold if that volume of air was at atmospheric pressure and the tank was at its rated (working) pressure. for example an AL80 holds 77.7 Cuft of air...

read the book "dark descent" and if that interests you read "deep descent" its not about the empress its about the ANDREA DORIA but its a good read as well

I believe that they were sold with a combination of the two

I have a good scenario you are doing a solo dive in moderate visability, slight surge and at a depth of about 40 feet. You then become entangled in a monofiliment fishing net that was not clearly marked on the surface (poachers). This net is tangled in the valves of your doubles rig....what do...

well a BCD is BCD in my opinion...that being said I would not trade my BP/W for anything short of a shot at the stanley cup. I suggest you buy that as soon as possible, it forms the core of your rig, will last you a life time if cared for properly and the sooner you get used to using it the...

this can easily be done its just that you have to use your octo as a primary (because you will be donating that in case of an emergency. The DIR way to do it will include amoung other things the addition of a 5 foot long low pressure regulator hose to the primary second stage....I would...

well I have a mk 5 and a mk 25 (essentialy scubapro started this line with the mk5 and then improved the design to the mk 10, mk15, mk20, mk 25 etc.) This entire line consists of balanced piston regulators and preform to very high standards. I wouuld have no problem diving wiht a mk 10 now as I...

its hard to get a lp130 now...... faber made a lp131 and it is a very big (external volume) tank. I have seen them set up as doubles and they are huge.
