Best thing to do would be to go by Action Scuba. They have doubles with back plate and wing that you can rent. Talk to Gary the shop owner about setting up a trial in the pool since its your first time in doubles. There is a pool sessions coming up the weekend of july 27th & 28th so talk to him...

Which LDS did you get it serviced at?

Generally no. That comes with time and practice. A balanced first stage will give you the same ease of breathing regardless of the tank pressure. In an unbalanced first stage as the tank pressure drops your IP will start to change which will make the reg harder to breath from. In a balanced...

Had this problem on a reg i serviced a while back with a 6 foot hose. I changed the IP slightly and re lubed a couple of the dynamic orings.

Both of your regs are unbalanced which explains why you felt the ease of breathing when you tried your buddies. They are still both work horses just not recommended for cold water. The legend would definitely be a good choice for cold water diving. Whatever you end up buying stick with something...

FDX10 is a great first stage. Delta 4 is good however it is unbalanced. I started out diving with this reg years ago and switched to a balanced 2nd stage later on. Having a balanced 2nd stage makes a huge difference in breathing. I still use the delta 4 buts its only a backup.

When under pressure does the second stage sound like it has a rattle to it. If so most likely its not tuned properly which could cause one to breath differently then the other.

Very nice video...however the conestoga is located in cardinal ontario....not prescott

We will be diving lock 21 on sunday. Only problem is it is back towards montreal from where you will be.

MK17 and G250V all the way. Speaking from a technicians point of view the environmental seal on the MK17 protects the regs insides from wear and tear due to the all the crap that can get in. The G250V just because of its reliability and because it has less parts that can break. Don't get me...

I have used/serviced many makes/models of regulators over the years and still prefer scubapro all the time.

There are plenty of Dive shops and charters that run morning charters on the weekend in the brockville area which means he would be able to get back to montreal for 3pm or so. I think his best bet would be to do a DSD since non divers could then join. As part of the DSD course they wouldn't...

I took the action scuba equipement specialty course and they not only taught us how to check the ip of our own regs as well as how to do a simple cracking pressure test but they also had us disassemble and re-assemble both a 1st and 2nd stage.

I did and it was a blast.....nice little night dive to split the week up.

Thats true they are most likely on the winter schedule and the park doesnt charge in the winter. More money to spend on dive gear.....lol

Lock 21...Long Sault ontario....about an hour and 15 minutes from montreal, depending on your driving speed. Look at S.O.S for site description. Definitely an advanced dive. Lock 21 Action Scuba will be diving there this wednesday (Sept. 21st) evening at 6:30pm Upcoming Events

Nothing around Montreal worth diving....I prefer driving out to lock 21 to dive.

In quebec, regardless of where you are diving pool or open water a FQAS permit is required. Whether or not they will ask you is another question but they have asked me in the past.
