How deep have you taken your HOG reg?

[Mouth Breather]

220'...no issues

290, no issues. why would you think there would be performance issues at depth? they are all CE approved which means they've passed the test

 

[Invader]

168ft, perfect.

Down to 48F as well. No issues.

Drop me a line sometime if you want to do some Coldwater diving around

Of course they still work at depth, but what about longevity on these budget regs? Who here has done a big number of dives on them or owned one for a very long time, and how has it held up?

 

[ajtoady]

Mine have worked flawlessly for at least 200 dives. Guess I should do a rebuild one of these days! Been at least two years.

 

[arew+4]

Five sets, Four years, 300 or more dives in total, 0 problems.

240’ is the deepest. No issues. Multiple dives below 200’, dozens of dives below recreational depth, and a couple hundred shallower than 100’ dives. Had mine for almost 3 years now and i still like them a lot! I use the d3 firsts with zenith seconds. My wife uses the d3 with classics and several of my students use hogs and like them.
Ill also add that ive used them for side and backmount. Clear caves, mucky rivers, silty quarries and under ice. Performance was great in all environments.
