I’m looking at upgrading my regs for tech diving. What are y’all’s thought on the Mares 25 XR CR? TIA

Hi
Why do you think you need to "upgrade". I am sure you can still use your reg. Just buy another 1st stage like yoy have and you are fine for "tech diving"
I don't know what the op has already but if i guess correctly from his/her post, (s)he already has a set (one 1st, two 2nd) so to start to do "tech", only one 1st is needed.What do you mean? Doesn't he need two full regulator sets, first and second stages?

if you believe so, fine but the problem is more about gas density than about "underperforming regs"How can you be sure another reg like they have will be fine for tech diving? Depends entirely on the reg he / she has. And what do you / they call tech diving?. For any serious OC tech diving you need the very best quality, least breathing resistant primary regs you can (afford) to buy. It is the one (life support) item an OC 'tech diver' should never skimp on. WOB / underperforming regs have played a significant role in narcosis events and even accidents in the past. Buy the best, shitcan the rest!
