regulator

Following up the thread about ScubaGaskets offering regulators I have decided to try one myself. https://scubaboard.com/community/threads/scubagaskets-getting-into-the-reg-business.645670/page-4 I have ordered the 2nd stage directly from Narwhal technology on Alibaba instead. This saved me a...

Hi team, After 30 great years of use, my Aqualung SEA + Micra has finally given up. The HP seat wore out, and the intermediate pressure started rising above spec. I decided to do the maintenance myself, following manuals I found online, and great advice from this forum. I disassembled the...

Like new. 6 total freshwater dives, (only 1 since rebuild 2 years ago). Includes everything shown, except air transmitter. $400 including insured shipping (in US).

Just bought a scubapro M5 and missing schematics. Am trying to understand how this guy is built, and above all trying to understand what's the "cracking effort resistence bolt" (the black plastic piece on the right of the barrel with a knot written dive clockwise) is supposed to be attached to...

I got this one from an old timer looking to get rid of some old gear. The regulator had an old Mares 2nd stage and an old R095 2nd stage connected to it. The Yoke screw also says Mares. I didn't find a Mares regulator looking like this, So these could have been changed at some point. The serial...

Hello, I got this first stage regulator and wonder if anyone can identify it? It was connected to Mares second stages and the yoke plastic cap says Mares. But I can't seem to find the name of it. Can you help identify it? M

Hi! I am finally biting the bullet and investing in a good regulator. I’m already set on buying the MK19 EVO. I’m going back and forth on the second stage option: G260 or S620Ti? I’ve seen a general preference for the G260 but I’m worried about the bulkiness and the weight of it. Is jaw fatigue...

Hi, I am in the market for a set of regulators for light technical application. My budget is quite tight, but the Tecline R4 and R5 with Tec 2 second sage seems to be at a reasonable price point for me. However, I’m not sure which one to pick. Both of them seem to work great in cold water, but...

Santa Barbara Aquatics, who I've had good experiences with, has the XTX200 first and second stage set on sale right now for $349. Normally $799. In case anyone was looking for a new set, or gift idea.

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...
