They did make DIN versions of those early Scubapro regs and the yoke versions can be converted to DIN. DIN has been the standard in Europe for a long time and has only become popular in the US relatively recently.

As has been said DIN is more secure than yoke but DIN is not universally supported. Anywhere you go in the world you can rent and get yoke tanks filled but that isn't true for DIN tanks, but they are becoming more popular and hopefully that will change. The good news is if you get DIN regs you...

In the past I have read quite a lot about Healthways, Sportsways and Scubapro and the people involved in those companies and their evolution. I have been trying to do more research using the clues provided by Sam but so far I have found nothing regarding this particular piece of equipment. As...

Amen to that. If you can figure out how to work the quick connect you can figure out how to remove and reattach the hose. It's not a space shuttle, it's just a regulator.

Due to EPA regulations chrome shops have become rare and chrome has become expensive. It would probably be cheaper and easier to find a parts reg with nice chrome on feebay.

Amron International still sells them and the octoous too. They also carry the overhaul and service kits for them. The specialized tool kits are available but you could buy two new regs for the price of the tool kit. Ouch $$$$ Aqua Lung Conshelf XIV Regulator 1st Stage 2nd Stage Supreme 1088-00

I've been called a lot of things in my time but modern late model tube sucking bubble blower is pretty harsh. Not quite as harsh as someone yelling "squid go home!" and throwing an empty beer bottle at me from a passing car, but harsh all the same. (That's how people used to tell me "thank you...

At around $200 new probably the best bang for the buck in warm water regs for a newb diver would be the Sherwood Oasis. If the diver decides to go advanced then they can use the Sherwood as a pony bottle or stage reg. They are excellent for that due to their reliability. Although they may not...

That is the high pressure seat.

I made a best offer and got the harness. The listing was set to auto accept and it accepted my first offer. If I had known it was set to auto accept offers I would have started lower. Oh well, I can't complain. It was a good deal. It looks like it is real uncomfortable. Lots of pointy corners. I...

When you say air came out the top of the mk5 do you mean the end with the hp seat in it that is opposite of the lp turret swivel? Or is it coming from the ambient pressure vent holes in the spec cap? The mk5 has a known issue with the swivel retainer. The original ones were made of brass. There...

"...There is quite a history and intrigue associate with this unit. I do not have the time or feel compelled to explain my statement..." That is a terrible tease. Now I have to go searching the web for info on this thing and will probably waste the better part of the day doing it. Damn...

I have already spent my allowance this week on gear. Bought a like new Seatec horse collar this week and I have two tanks I have to pick up from hydro. If it hasn't sold and is still listed Monday I will probably buy it. But if someone else gets it that's ok. I really have too much scuba stuff...

I'm not sure of the rules regarding posting ebay links. If anyone wants the link just message me. This is not mine, I just spotted it. The harness is awesome looking and priced right, $30+shipping. Look like it was made for a double hose and would have no problem clearing the can. I would buy...

Kids Sea Camp. Even though it's at a kids camp the certification is for adults too and even counts towards DM certification.

If you want unique there is the PADI Zombie Apocalypse Diver certification course. They have classes in Bonaire. Zombie Apocalypse Diver FAQ

The bcd does confuse things. The reg has nothing in common with the bcd other than the name. I had the first generation Shadow like the one in the picture. It's basically a Y block with a Brut on one port and a power inflator quick connect on the other. You could easily diy one with stuff from...

How about the Sherwood Shadow? It works with any standard bc inflator and doesn't require a special quick disconnect like the integrated units do. It still has its pros and cons but I think it is better than an integrated unit.

Guam International remindes me of a Tijuana bus terminal.

Plastic milk crate with swim noodles zip tied to it and a 1/2" piece of pvc pipe for a dive flag pole. Dirt cheap to make and easy to find the materials. They can hold a lot of stuff inside and you can clip things to the outside and attach as many d rings to it as you want. It is nearly...
