Hi,
The idea of a double hose regulator intrigues me, the bubbles behind me would be nice.
Are there any double hose regulators either vintage or contemporary that will allow the following standard devices to be safely used?
A place to connect a standard low pressure inflator hose to fill a back inflate wing or other standard BC.
A place to attach a modern second stage in the event of my own equipment failure or the need of a second stage by a buddy.
A place to attach a submersible pressure guage.
The ability to use this on a modern 3000 psi tank with either DIN or Yoke valve.
I guess some of these things might be accomplished with an H or Y valve and a second modern first stage regulator set, but I am not the least bit familiar with vintage regulators so this might not even be possible due to obstructions. I guess that is why I am asking here. I hope these questions are not out of line, but if I never ask I will never know.
I am also curious about just how much bouyancy the air in the double hoses adds when compared with the modern regulator I am diving now.
