Good diaphragm 1st stages for DIY

[_sgm_]

Is Hog a relatively new company? Ive not heard of them befote

I know they have been around for 12+ years I have some OG regs and 1st stages they were chrome and rock solid [i cannot comment for the HOG line as of today I do know that deep six was sun off of the HOG concept] both are out of Georgia if memory holds true and manufactured in Taiwan just like Diverite is

Apeks DST. Very versatile especially with the 5th. port. Use for back-mount singles or doubles, side-mount or stage

I second this opinion - service kits are easy to get (from Europe), and with a little bit of work you can even easily buy all the o-rings you need from an industrial o-ring supplier, and only need to source seats/diaphragms.
