I am re-listing a set of mini-doubles that I advertized two years ago but had to travel to Australia suddenly because my father became unwell and I didn't make it back to the US for nearly a year. I apologize to any persons interested at the time and now they are up for sale again. So up for...

Hi all Up for sale is a complete mini doubles set that has never been wet. I put it together just before the pandemic because I got out of rebreathers and wanted something with more redundancy and more gas for long no-deco open water dives on 32%. Then I got bronchitis and ended up with an...

I want to convert my spare D1X first stage from yoke to DIN. Anyone know which conversion kits will fit this and where to find relevant process/torque settings etc?

Replacing my HOG doubles rig and looking for pro's/ con's on my options. My budget is up to about $1000 and currently looking at: DiveRite XT DiveGear Express XTRA Deep6 Signature Getting lazy in my old age and so rather than messing around with stuff would appreciate a setup that is...

When will regulator manufacturers start paying enough attention to quietening the sound of regulator exhaust bubbles. We know it can be done to some extent, or is it just me? Quietening my dives down was much of the motivation for dabbling in rebreathers for a while and owning two Argonaut...

I have an Alkin W31 Mariner that I bought new and use to fill personal tanks for my wife and myself. We have been diving away mostly so its only done about 40 hours over the last 18 months and due to the high humidity around here I have repacked the purifier filter twice. The oil was obviously...

I was looking at wing options for a mini doubles rig and saw the Mares XR doubles wing on LP for a good price, but they quote the inflator hose length as 35", I've never heard of a hose that long- is that right or is it a typo? Mares XR Twin Tank Donut Bladder

Atomic Aquatics Quality Alert: LP Hoses

When my shiny new Hollis Explorer 2 turned into a pumpkin overnight I lost a swag of hard earned money and spat the dummy at both Huish outdoors and RB’s in general. Still won’t knowingly buy any Huish related product! So when I recently stumbled across something on the soon to be released Mares...

I am making the assumption here that the Hog D1/D1X first stage is “overbalanced” as per Apeks marketing claims for the DST since it is essentially a clone of the Apeks. That being the case I would want to un-overbalanced it in order to use a non balanced second stage. Is it a simple matter of...

Has anyone familiar with servicing Hog D1 first stages looked the Apeks service manual for the DST (on the "Frogkick" website)? I cant find a HOG service manual for a D1 so I am wondering if the Apeks manual can be used instead or if there are significant differences in the...

A quick question for D6 Signature first stage users- the turret end looks to be only slightly longer than the diaphragm end of the first stage so do you use it (single tank) with the turret inverted or upright?

Hi all Up for sale is a 2018 Argonaut Kraken double hose regulator in DIN complete with hoses, spare mushroom valves, weight rings, can cover, VDH Kraken backplate with near new DGX webbing and Hollis (mostly) hardware (see pictures). Just about everything needed apart from a few cambands. Only...

Hi all Clearing out my stash of regulators and this one is up for sale. I bought it new three years ago and it has been used on maybe ten dives. Condition is at least excellent and it is difficult to find blemish's- maybe some slight ones under the exhaust tee but really negligible. It will need...

Just curious: Has anyone seen the inside of the newer Sherwood Magnum Pro SRB9350 second stage? It is now balanced and I suspect uses the same basic valve components as the SR2, so please tell me if the air balance chamber is now metallic (chromed brass)?

How does the Deep 6 faceplate attach to the main reg body? If its not a screw down type them how is it removed, is it a tight fit to put good compression on the diaphragm margin? Also, how does the weight of the second stage compare with something like Hog D1/Zenith?

Hi there Is the turret on the Deep 6 first stage high enough to require inverting it (like most if not all flow through piston designs with turrets) or does it work well in the upright orientation like the Apeks DST? Will the second stage fit an Aqualung Comfobite mouthpiece? Cheers

The mouthpiece tube on my 1980 Conshelf reg has a different shape from most “modern” regulators. It is smaller and squarer with a sort of horizontal flattish profile. I have sifted through a box of miscellaneous mouthpieces and ended up with a Scubapro one as the closest fit, but even with a zip...

I live and dive in a place (TCI) where there is no actual requirement to do VIP’s or hydro’s on tanks and no facilities or qualified personnel to do them even if I wanted to! The local dive operators tell me that they take a peep inside their AL 80 tanks every now and then with a light and...
