I'm sitting on a fence here, and would like some considered opinions.
I have three regs, Titan LX primary and secondary, an Auqalung octo, and an Air Source.
I started out with the LX and Air Source, and liked it a lot. Then on a dive, the hose got damaged to the Air Source, and I took it to the LDS for replacement. The hose was on back order, so I bought the octo, and continued to dive with it for the past several months.
I now have the Air Source back, and am trying to make a decision as to what to do.
I could use all three, but that just adds complexity with no gain - with the added risk that there are three regs that could freeflow instead of two.
I could drop the air source, but I really don't like the extra hose. I intend to go with a 7' primary hose, and will expect to donate my primary when necessary anyway.
Or, I could drop the octo. I like the Air Source, but I know that a lot of people don't. Are there REALLY any good reasons against them? I've used mine comfortably as deep as 115' without issue.
Opinions???
