Consideration for first set of doubles regs?

@mac64 , you've got a somewhat unique perspective, having started diving way back when. Now I can see why you take some of the positions you do on various subjects.

Seems like there has been zero improvement in technology since he started diving. It is a kin to a doctor today saying "We gonna amputate this leg cause he got a cut. Well I mean that's the way we been doing it since the Civil War, why change anything?"

Just because you have been doing something forever, doesn't make it the best way to do it.

Of course. All I said was that I can see where he's coming from. Many of us would change with the times, but I don't expect everyone to change what they're doing every time there is an advance in the technology.

That wasn't directed at you. It was simply an observation that times do change and there are often better ways to do things. The mantra of "I have always done it this way" carries very little weight with me.

Me, neither. I'd like to believe newer divers who come across discussions like this one have enough sense not to give any weight to "I have always done it this way" in deciding how to do something. But at the same time I understand and try not to criticize those who are doing it their same old way.

Yes grasshopper

Photo of my old scubapro second stages, I worked deep on air with them and they worked flawlessly, my G250,s are good but not better and definitely not as tough. If I see something that genuinely improves my configuration I'll use it but won't buy into hype and sales talk.

I think if something isn't broke, don't fix it. But I service and maintain all my own gear.

Oh yeah, they look well maintained.

There my old regs and if you done a fraction of the work and diving I done with them you could talk. Yours are still shiny just out of the box.
