Is Ray still in business? The phone number that I have gives a "no longer in service" message.

Does the newer (China) Sherwood K valve use the same internal parts as the Sherwood 5000 (USA) valve?

Does the newer Sherwood K valve (made in China) use the same rebuild parts as the Sherwood 5000 (made in USA) valve? Interestingly, the word China is stamped on the bottom of the valve near the dip tube.

I am planning on buying a compressor for personal use--about 100 fills a year, I am set up with single phase 220, and am considering the following: Alkin W31 Bauer Junior II Coltri MCH-6 The Bauer is about twice the price of the others. I would appreciate any suggestions from experienced...

Has the second stage seat been changed, and, if so, can it be used in the previous Zeagle seconds?

Now that Zeagle is under the Huish umbrella, do they still produce regulators in the US, or produce regs at all?

Anyone who has gotten an interior look at the new Aqualung Core second stage: I assume that the Core second stage is a cosmetic revamp of the Titan LX ACD second, but I am curious about the new "patented heat exchanger" that AL advertises. The first stage appears to be unchanged.

Are the Sherwood K-Valves currently being made in the US or are they imported? The reason I ask is that I recently purchased 4 Aluminum 80's (I already have a number, all with Sherwood valves) and on the first dive 2 of the Sherwood logos fell off. With the logos off, the finish is not at all...

For the first time in several years, I notice that there is a full line of Aqualung (and Apeks) gear on the Leisurepro website. Is Leisurepro now an authorized Aqualung dealer?

I noticed that the SR-1 does not appear in the 2013 Sherwood online catalog. Has it been discontinued?

One of my Titan LX seconds (I have 5) has an issue that I can't seem to resolve. It intermittently had a very slight freeflow. It may go 10 or 12 breaths, and then begin bubbling slightly. Increasing the spring pressure to a point where it breaths much harder did nothing to prevent this...

Chris, I have seen Zoops in orange and yellow. What is the significance of two different colors?

I see that you are now marketing an SR-1+ model in addition to the SR-1. Exactly what is the difference between this + model and the much maligned (at least on Scubaboard) plain vanilla SR-1?

I want to buy a WIDE Apeks XTX regulator exhaust tee (Apeks calls it a diffuser). Most XTX series regs came with both wide and narrow tees.

Aqua Lung's website announces the new Titan LX 2009. The second stage appears to be the same except for a new cover. The first stage, on the other hand, is entirely different. It looks like the Mikron first stage, and includes an ACD.

I have been diving a Zeagle Envoy Deluxe for about a year, mostly as a backup--less than 40 dives. It breathes ok, but certainly no better than many other regs I have tried. Recently, it began giving a short "peep" sound at the very end of each inhalation. IP locks up solidly at about 135...

Is either the CDX5 or FDX10 overbalanced?

Since my prescription has changed, I need to get a new mask. I have a "plus" prescription, which means a corrective lens must be bonded to the factory lens. I stopped into Key West Optician last week, these folks have made many masks for me over the years, and found that management has changed...

Hi everyone. I lived in the Keys for quite a while and amassed a few dives-- on one trip a newbie pointed to my Seaquest BC and said "does that ratty old thing still hold air?" At the time, it was almost two years old! I currently live in Virginia, but since my recent retirement, I am...
