Ok...I am new to this SCUBA thing...My husband and I are going to get our certification in March. I was so excited about all of this that I ran out and purchased us both a bunch of equipment.
Of course, my local dive shop is great and we don't mind buying things from them, but I was seeing if I could get a better deal on some of the stuff over the internet!
Found a good deal on an Oceanic Gamma II regulator with a CDX first stage from a seller on Ebay...got them...they were still in their boxes...took them to our local shop to make sure they were connected correctly and found out that they had been recalled (A YEAR AGO!!)
I requested the seller send me a refund and I would return the regulators to him, because I didn't want my first experience with SCUBA to be a bad one. He told me that they regs were retrofitted with the pieces required by Oceanic and that they were ok to use.
Here's my question...Does anyone think that this reg would not be safe to use? Should we just take this guy's word for the fact that it has been retrofitted?
Of course, our local shop doesn't want us to use it and wants us to by one from them...we are talking spending at least $250 more than we paid for this one EACH!!
HELP!! We don't know what direction to go in next!!
