I have (played) with the adjustments but still not a real major difference. I still think it is the equipment. Two years ago we dove in cozumel with rentals. The reg I had was breathing pretty wet and had to suck to get a good amount of air. After descending to the bottom all of us were downstream of a swim through the dm wanted to go to so we all had to kick against a current to get to it. By the time i got there I was getting no where near the air that I needed. I truly thought I was gonna die, 60' under in cozumel. I motioned to my divebuddy (wife) to call the dive and safely ascended. Once everyone got back on board the dm asked what happened. He gave me his regulator if I wanted to do the second dive. Man that was a tough thing to do after just thinking you were dead but I knew i had to try it. So I did. Perfect dive with no problems and used the same amount of air as the others.
Other divers were like man that takes a lot to get right back in the water after an incident like that. They are right it does. That is one of the reasons I still think it's the equipment.
I just had my regs serviced but still the same results. I'm gonna take them back and tell them to change the pressure settings allowing easier (more) flow as others have said. If that doesn't work its off to the doc for a checkup.
Thanks for all your help,
Doug
P.S. I hope no one has to experience that feeling I had. I'm sure some have and they know exactly what i'm talking about.
