regulator

Hey y'all, just wanted to share one of two Dacor regulators I was gifted and decided to bring back to life. Can't wait to try it out! (before is left, After is right)

Hey Folks So I am a few weeks away from servicing my regulators - 2 1st stages and 3 2nds. I was looking at purchasing HCL acid but confused about grades and concentration to use. The classroom taught me to create a solution of 10% HCL by adding the right measure of HCL to a measured volume of...

These top-quality regs are well-known, buy once and never upgrade again. Overbalanced, environmentally sealed, and an extremely low 0.70 joule/liter work of breathing (WOB), they will perform beautifully down further than any sane person would go and at temperatures to 4ºC. 1 high-pressure (HP)...

Hi All, Have 2x Hollis 500se second stages and the corresponding DC7 first stage. I used these for a while and they worked fine, but I have far too many regs these days and they haven't been touched in probably 2 or 3 years at this point, getting dusty. Work when hooked up, but they should...

A question for the reg techs out there.. Recently I had a hollis regulator serviced and everything seems fine except if I turn both 2nd stage adjustments(venturi and knob) to the full + it will immediately freeflow from the 2nd stage after purging. When you pressurize the reg even with both...

Hi There, I just got my Open water certificate a few weeks ago. Now I'm looking for some gear. I have so much dilemma's, there are so many options! The gear I already invest in: - TUSA Zensee mask - TUSA Platina II Hyperdry - Garmin Descent Mk3i 43mm The next purchase I want to go for some...

I'm a very beginner diver (recently OW certified), pool diving each week in a club and planning to dive on holidays approx 30-40 dives per year. My local dive shop has a great deal on a Scubapro MK19EVO G260 + R105 with 200€ off. I'm wondering if I should splurge now considering that I'm still...

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to Boracay and I’m bringing my scuba diving gear. I chatted with Cebu Pacific customer service, and they confirmed that I can hand carry my scuba diving regulator on my flight from Manila to Boracay. However, I just want to make sure if anyone has done this...

Hello! This is a question for my fellow EU based divers. I'm trying to understand what the practical implications of the M26 are, when regulator shopping. Back when I did my EANx course, the instructor demonstrated the different threads, so I have a basic understanding of the thread sizing...

Looking for an O2 ready deco setup with 1st and 2nd stage. Preferably Hollis but I'll take what I can get. Let me know!

I have an old Dacor scuba regulator and the first stage diaphragm is leaking. All the second stages, hoses, and gauges work, but air is getting lost a lot quicker. I’ve taken it to many dive shops that tell me they won’t even touch them for liability reasons and because they don’t make parts...

Hey! I’m new to diving, and just purchased this lot of equipment from someone who inherited it and knows nothing of scuba. I paid $200 for the lot. They all look to be in good shape, and from my understanding have only been used in the Great Lakes. All of the first stage regulators are DIN...

Hello everyone! First post in the forums btw! I have my 1st stage which has only one HIGH PRESSURE and I am really hesitant about replacing my SPG totally with the transmitter I got (swift). What do you think about this? Is it safe? I am absolutely crazy or it is an understandable risk? Thanks!

I'm looking to replace my Mares primary second stage. Looking for recommendations on a decently well-made, easily serviceable, mid-range, workhorse of a regulator. GO!

I have a Dacor regulator system and there is a strong leak out of the yoke. The second stages still work fine but because I can’t get parts for that company anymore, can I take the hoses off the old yoke and put them on a different brand yoke?

My local regulator service techs told me that Apeks/Aqualung/US Divers regulators have been sitting in their workshop waiting for parts for over 4 months, they aren't getting any calls back from the service reps, emails are not being returned, Supposedly they were bought by a hedge fund and they...

So I’ve recently become a Divemaster and figured it’s time to finish my kit by buying my own reg. My prerequisites for a reg are a membrane design, 5 Lp ports with a swivel turret and a reg able to withstand colder water( water that goes down to 4° celcius). I want to have a reg which supports...

Hello! I currently own an Aqua Lung 1955-2005 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Mistral Double Hose Regulator with Box and Padded Bag, numbered US130. This regulator has only been used once soon after it was purchased in 2005. It has remained in the box since then. It also comes with the...

Hi! I'm new to diving and this forum. I'm sorry if this question has already been answered, I could find out. So; 2 years ago I got a new set of Aqualung Helix Pro regulators. I have not used this on land or in water, and have been storing them in a dry environment. The manual says service is...

Hi! I am selling my oceanic Delta 5 yoke reg setup, it has a white Delta 5 primary (braided hose), black secondary (braided hose), oceanic SWIV spg with a boot, and LPI hose. This is my spare so I have used it maybe 3 times, it's as close to new as it can be without actually being new! The only...
