I've had my V16 Proton XL (the one with the blue dot) since about October, and I've only used it so far with a 50' hookah line while cleaning the bottom of my boat. However, I just received my MV octo the other day, and I'm looking forward to using the two together on a real dive. My question is, do I need to bring the 1st stage and both regs into a shop and have the intermediate pressure matched, or will they be the same out of the box, so I can just simply assemble the rig and go diving?
Also, aside from overtightening, what are some things to watch out for while assembling/disassembling my own regulator, changing from a long hose to a short one, adding an octo and BC inflator, etc.??
Thanks in advance for any advice.
