durable balanced second stage and not expensive

[crab4life]

Ohhh, please find that. I'm looking for a new aqualung second stage to replace my octo second stage. I don't know why I buy into brand loyalty, but I do.

I believe it was this site. Prices have gone up some but they are still really cheap.

ATX 50 is no longer made and the SP R195 is not balanced.

You can still get the ATX40 and DS4. I bought two in January for £150 each. All the reg you will ever need.

You got hosed. Dolphin Scuba was selling on ebay 2 ATX-40s, 1 DS4, and some gauges for $349.00. That is a great deal and I was tempted to buy a set. That being said, the question is availability. Just because AL sells something in the UK (or the US) doesn't mean they sell it in the rest of the world.

$349 is ~£210, so the price isn't far out. And I got them from my LDS so didn't need to pay postage and import duties from the US, which could easily add £100 to the price.

I agree with you about availability though. Apeks are probably the most common reg used in the UK, a combination of quality, suitability, availability and price make them a very good choice but I don't often see them elsewhere unless a British diver has brought them with him (or her)

Piranha Dive Mfg. has HOG classic second stages for 65 bucks! I bought a spare!
