http://precisiondiving.net/blog/product-review-hog-regulators/ Unpaid review by a dive instructor I respect. ---------- Post added March 31st, 2013 at 11:32 AM ---------- FYI - I took advanced nitrox/deco with Duane and have continued to dive with him over the past 4 years. I'm not providing...

I understand. Only reason I'm selling is ran across a deal for Apeks doubles setup and couldn't resist. I have 9 sets of regs now and my wife said a few have to go. Between stage regs, deco regs, single tanks regs....I'm nearing my own dive shop.

Lol. Wife wants it replaced. I'll throw it in if you come pick up the regs.

Bump. Price reduced. $450

While the Internet experts do offer confusion, I wouldn't call rebreathers 'safe.' Even the experts are continually stating the dangers present. Very respected and noted experts have found themselves dead diving them. That said - it's like every other aspect of this sport. Know and manage...

Finally a reason to steal my wife's Kindle!!!

It only hurts till your face goes numb.

My guess is most shops aren't going to invest the money in a booster to offer this. Getting a tank with 75% at a decent pressure is tougher than it appears.

Just got around to taking pictures. These include a 2" SPG and LP wing hose. 1st stages are DIN. Well cared for and just serviced by Northeast Scuba Supply last month.

This. Also be sure to spend your first several dive shallow and progress to depth slowly. Plan your changes in the water column - dump gas first them ascend, adjust early and often. Once you shift to positive in a drysuit it's near impossible to correct.

Sounds like you need to sign up and pay for the right to spend your money to DM. :) Basically DMs in my area make tips (which are very few and far between) and an occasional scuba review. You are expected to cover your cost (professional dues, insurance, site entry fees, equipment and equipment...

$500 I'll post pics later. These are ~3 years old. Includes 2 1st stages and 2 2nd stages. Hogarathian hose set and DR pressure gauge included. These were just rebuilt last month by Northeast Scuba Supply.

Correct. Honestly I've never seen rec diving provide a mix beyond 36%. 32% and 36% are considered standards. Some locations may deviate due to standard depths of the wrecks. An example would be Morehead City, NC. Everyone banks 30% as the depths are almost exclusively in the 100-125' range.

Increased PO2 of the breathing gas changes the partial pressure exerted on other gases (nitrogen) in the body and forces it out of the the tissues more quickly. I tend to use 50% as a deco mix and do my gas switch at 70'. This places my PO2 of 02 at 1.6 and really kicks in the decompression...

And the Internet produces another expert....

Uh huh. I posted that after several attempts to state my case. Jim asked directly and I responded. Is my point not true? While I understand quality issues do occur, the was a blatant QC failure. If I made it up then you would have a point. And I post so much... My 750 compared to your 2300...

Wow. You really just don't get the point of these posts. No one has said they are bad. Anywhere. What I have said is that they do not have the support infrastructure, long term track record, or innovation in their portfolio (a new chrome process does NOT offer any innovation to the performance)...

Thanks for the rationale post. You are correct. I have given up trying to make a rationale point on the conversation. People tend to miss the thought process and you have articulated well everything I was trying to say. There is one positive to the story. I just got off of the phone with John...

You've obviously missed my entire point. Apeks at the price they are being offered ($369) is a steal. If I was stating buy Apeks at retail ($600) then your entire post would have merit.....but it doesn't. In regards to pharma - you are speaking out both sides of your mouth. You claim that...

Because essentially an AL Legend is an Apeks. I have experience with it and now it's a superior design. For the money it's the winner. And I didn't dis Hog until asked why I didn't recommend them....
