What are the differences between the Deep Six DGX and Deep Six Signature regulators?
In short, you have two Deep Six regulator choices: a REALLY SOLID time-tested regulator in value priced DGX packages available exclusively at Dive Gear Express and an AWESOME new regulator in the Signature (fka Aegaeon) available at the
Deep Six Gear website.
The Deep Six DGX first stage is a proven design and compared to the Deep Six Signature first stage it's a bit larger. The DGX rotating turret won't turn 360 degrees with a hose in all 4 LP ports where the Signature will rotate fully no matter if every LP port is used. The Signature is chromed then PVD coated for greater scratch protection, versus the DGX that is standard chrome. The Signature has a Teflon coated HP poppet and Teflon o-ring in the balance chamber giving increased performance, versus the standard poppet and Viton o-ring in the DGX. The Signature has a metal DIN handwheel, versus the DGX high-impact plastic DIN handwheel. The DGX second stage and the Signature second stage are slightly different body shapes. The Signature second stage barrel is Teflon coated over chrome, the DGX only chromed. The Signature has the Deep Six exclusive Turbine Poppet, the DGX does not.
The Signature comes with a special DIN cap that has a spare DIN o-ring in it, the DGX includes a standard DIN cap. The Signature first stage is also available in a native yoke version, the DGX is available with an optional yoke adapter. Other differences are the Signature regulator ships in the Deep Six orange dry box, the DGX regulator offers the optional
DGX Tek Regulator Bag. The Signature includes free service parts, the DGX does not include free service parts. The Signature regulator is also eligible for one free periodic maintenance service.
