On my last couple of dives with the DH I noticed the hoses bouncing around my ears. It was a little annoying, so I ordered some additional rings from ebay to see what I could do. I was tempted to start a thread concerning hose weights and placement. These things seem to be of interest to...

I believe the Kraken shipped with a larger diameter hose than most other DH regulators. I no longer have a Kraken, but the replacement silicone hose on my AquaMaster / Phoenix has an overall OD of ~ 37.5mm. The rings Brian sold for the Kraken were 38mm inside diameter, 6.1mm thick, and weighed...

Check out Wise: https://wise.com/ Easy and inexpensive. I've used them quite a few times without complications.

If @HJW (or anyone else) is not aware of it, there still exists a vast resource of information on Brian's website: Phoenix and Argonaut Specialty Area - Vintage Double Hose Outside of the venturi adjustment, the Argonaut Kraken and the upgraded Phoenix are 95% functionally identical. As years...

From what you've said so far I'm not convinced there's anything wrong with your regulator (outside of the sticky DSV). If you try to judge the breathing characteristics of the double hose compared to a single hose regulator you might be disappointed. There are big differences. Breathing effort...

Yes it will free flow while you are on the water surface as the can dips into the water. This is normal. Unless you can confirm the reg is free flowing on the beach, boat or bench, totally out of the water when you hook it to the tank, we're not getting anywhere. Does the reg free flow when...

You can use any air pressure gauge with the proper precision that you can hook up to your low pressure port . Usually around 15 Bar full scale. A HP gauge will not work. In my experience the DSV mouthpiece O-rings must be heavily lubed to move smoothly. Especially the rectangular one around...

If your Kraken is not free flowing above water, it might be functioning properly, and you are just not used to some unusual properties of the reg. If, while in the water, the mouthpiece is above the level of the metal can. the reg will free flow due to the pressure differential between the depth...

Isn't Cabo a part of Texas?

I just don't dive in the US. Seems to be too much of a hassle for a marginal dive experience. Never had any problem with my age (now 75) in Mexico, Honduras, or Indonesia. "Don't ask. Don't tell." is your best bet.

If you need air integration, then it would be the Suunto. If not, Garmin probably has better above water applications. I have not been a fan of Suunto in the past, but perhaps they have corrected their deficiencies. I have the Garmin Descent Mk1 and the 965 and both have exceeded my...

The Fenix 8 dive capabilities are outlined about half way down this page: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/08/garmin-fenix-8-in-depth-review.html Garmin has been making fine dive computers and I'm sure the Fenix 8 will be great, within its limitations.

A used and reconditioned d350 or d400 is still a viable alternative.

More of a smart watch that can be used as a computer than a computer that can be used as a smart watch like the Descent models. The author includes certification data showing it can live through greater depths at least. Seems to be a good option for an active person who is also a recreational...

If you have the cardboard wrapper it will say for sure. If not, you can get the year of manufacture from the back of the watch.
