DSS (Deep Sea Supply)---Warning

[BoltSnap]

Let’s not discount the fact that 90% or more of the folks on this board would have to google either term. Neither are terms used by the vast majority of English speaking people, and I’d bet if Trey Gowdy hadn’t used animus in what is becoming a viral video this month, it would have never popped up in here.

You come to SB and you learn a great deal even beyond diving, what a place!!

Fake news. You can’t change your old posts to remediate basic errors. Then have fanboys come to your defense.

Oh. I missed that. And, I'm not a Tobin fan, for whatever that's worth.

Tobin edited his post to change animism to animus at 7:32pm on friday after being corrected by Pete.

Thanks, Ray. I missed that in the fray, somehow.

Seems like the OPs story keeps changing. First it was a leak in a wing that he had had for 20 months without using it. Then later it's a wing he recieved just a few days before a trip to Cozumel? Which is it? Was the wing 20 months old at the start of the trip? Did the OP find the leak on his initial dive just a few days after receiving it and wait 20 months to try and get it warrantied? If the OP can't be honest about when he got the wing/when he detected the leak, why would we believe his account of his call with Tobin?

You are getting the OP confused with other complainers. Stories are getting conflated.

I Cannot leave a limerick unfinished, but really couldn’t choose a last line, forgive me dear readers!

Scuba-board chickens are forever clucking

‘bout who got a good deal and who got a plucking

Tobin-Bantam Bird

Will squawk the last word

These dumb divers dare to give my rep a ducking?

These turkeys do not know with whom they are mucking!

Just wait ‘til my gear is done trucking

I’ll show these green corn cobs a shucking!

Here’s a recreational diver’s point of view about servicing regs. A diver that is a city person, with an office job that does not DIY anything. Second stages are easy. First stages are much more complicated. The specialized tools involved are a lot more than what people are suggesting.

I think, in the main, first stages are easier than second stages. There are regs that require no specialized tools.

I can easily reassemble Apeks 1st stage blind folded but not their 2nd stages. Setting the IP is only the exception cause I do have to check the reading on the gauge. 2nd stage is far more complicated.

With regards to Apeks, absolutely agree.

Tobin is a smart guy who makes innovative products but has no idea about customer service
