I am confused. I purchased two new Aqua lung / US Divers regulators 5 days apart in Dec. 1999, both from the Divers Direct store in Orlando Florida (an Aqualung dealer in 1999). One was a Micra, the other a Titan.
When I had the Micra serviced last week for the first time, the LDS operator told me that it was a "knock off" and not a real Aqua lung regulator. He said that he called US Divers and they confirmed that it was "knock off". The LDS tech serviced the reg but said that he would not guarantee it. I have the passport warantee cards for both regs.
The body of the Micra 1st stage has raised letters and numbers and the body machining inside the yoke doesn't look that refined. The Titan 1st stage has engraved numbers and looks more polished. Both 1st stages have the serial numbers stamped in the body. The Micra has "US Divers" on the 1st stage label whereas the Titan does not.
The tech at Divers Direct told me that when they were an aqua lung dealer that they received all of their regulators from Aqualung / US Divers in California.
Is there any way to get a definitive answer? Is it or is it not an aqua lung / US Divers regulator? Any suggestions?
