Dive Rite Deco Reg

Well, that’s good to hear. Once it’s been O2 cleaned, can it be used with air too, as long as the air is hyper clean?

Yes. And you do not need a special hose, though if the current hose has been used with non-OCA, then technically it should not be considered O2 Clean, I think.

Figured I’d need a new hose. Thanks!

The first stage is the part of concern as that is where you are dealing with high pressure and O2. Once it leaves the first stage it could go into a garden hose and would make no difference.

I wouldn't go that far. 140psi of oxygen still deserves respect.

Dont forget about Apollo 1. That wasn't under pressure, just a high o2 environment.

Legend would not be a good choice for a deco reg as it does not have a swiveling turret, at least not the one I am looking at.

Yeah, Apollo 1 also had spark. I doubt if you will find that in a second stage hose or second stage. Lets not be argumentative just for the sake of being argumentative. It gets old and is tiring.

A NASA review board found a stray spark (probably from damaged wires near Grissom's couch) started the fire in the pure oxygen environment.

a deco reg is just that ,,,,, it doesn't have to be a top of the line reg a reasonable reg will do if prepared properly how deep do you think it will be working at ? I get a kick about all the so called experts say what it needs to be ......how much deco do they really do / have done ?

What does it matter? It’s worked well as a pony reg with lots of practice deploying it.

Your reg is perfectly fine. Not a single one of my deco or stage bottles have a turret reg on them and they work just fine.

It doesn’t matter. Swivel on a deco reg is irrelevant. I have some with and some without. No difference in the water.
