Hello, I am looking at two regulators, the Aqualung Legend LX Supreme and the Scubapro MK25 A700 and I was wondering if anyone had an opinion. thx

I have the AquaLung Legend. It is a good reg "but" it has an overbalanced first stage. Supposedly, that makes it better for deeper dives, "but" it will cause most second stages to free flow (or slowly bubble) at depth. It supposedly doesn't happen until very deep, but mine would do it at 20 feet. I repalced my Zeagle alternate twice, and rebuilt it twice and tuned it down each time and it still did it. So, understand if you get an Aqualung, then your whole stetup will probably need to be Aqualung to work right. At least, that has been my personal experience. If that is an issue, then go with the Scuba Pro.

Paladin brings up a good point. The IP of the first stage needs to be set within normal limits, and the second stage needs to be tuned to that particular IP.I would think that your problem was that your IP was set too high and was over-riding your second stage.
