A reminder about deep air/ or not

[Bob DBF]

That was long before my diving times, but would that not be quite prone to rusting?

The same way metal regs are prone to rusting.

Not really, Bob, as the metal regulators are chrome-plated brass (mostly), and the metal,mouthpiece bands were stainless steel.

I think that was Bob's tongue in cheek point.

I forgot to use the sarcasm font, sorry.

'Sorry for my misinterpretation there, Bob. I think there are now some divers out there who have never handled a metal second stage.

No worries.

I’ve run across a few, they always comment how cool the metal regs are, my best translation from the vernacular of the day.

I also let them know that if they have more interest, ScubaBoard is a great place to look for more information on metal regs or anything scuba.
