I'm diving with MR32 + CWD(oil kit) + 2 x proton metal 2'nd stage (long hose + short neck hose ) for 5-6 years.
I have a few times noticed that deep breath (independant from depth ) causing membrane in 2'nd stage HONKS , which made me unconfortable. Sometimes I even think I don't get enough air ( not real , but ... in mind)
I also have heard that same problem have scubapro A700 which is also designed by Mares engineer. Scubapro have made some improvement with membrane that can be replaced and succesfully remove that honking. Proton and A700 have same problem with very small 2'nd stage membrane which can resonate at deep breath (too low supply of air ? from 1'st stage ?)
After cleaning with fresh water and drying on land , membranes from both stages seals at inhalation breath prefect.
Question : have Mares do similar improvement-upgrade with 2'nd stage membrane ?
Regulator is regular serviced at authorized service in Slovenia (May 2010) , but I think in future I'll do this myself because I more confide myself into tehnicall stuff. IP is OK. Prime 2'nd stage opened submerged 10-15 cm , backup 2'nd stage opened submerged cca 1cm - in touch with water. At diving almost never go to free flow (sometimes buckup on neckle because of position)
My choice for Mares was first that Italy is very near to me (geographical ), and I 'll have secured spare parts supply . (not quite true btw.)
