How deep with the Legend LX???

[Tiefseetaucher]

How deep did you guys go with your legend?
I know that the Apeks ATX100 had a world record with 254 meters and the Mares Abyss with 313m.
Are there any records with the Legend series?

Um, why?

I'm not sure that a depth record is proof that a regulator is good. A lot of things don't work the same deeper than 200 meters. Also, the same diver who made the 313 meter dive on the Mares reg also made a lot of 100+ meter deep dives on the Sherwood Brut, which most recreational divers would agree is a stiff breather.... He also made his 150 meter dive using rental stock from the dive-center he was working from at the time..... in other words. He's not particularly picky, he may even prefer a bit of "stiffness" but that's just speculation. He did tell me that he thinks Poseidon regs are dangerous and unpredictable at deeper depths and he knows of at least one deep diver who nearly bit-it because of a quirky Poseidon. Other than that I suspect he'll dive with anything that works ok with trimix.

I agree with Diver0001. The way you describe the way your reg breathes is a subjective thing, everyone is different. I've had mine over 200' and they have been great. How deep do you want to go? I think you might just be asking to see how it breathes at depth.

I was not really interested if there is a record with that regulator, that was more of an example. I am not planning on going beyound 140 feet right now.
I was just wondering how deep people have used it and how they have liked it?

You will like that regulator at any depth you are likely to be diving. It is a sound regulator. Everyone that owns one likes it, of this i'm certain. Thanks.

The legend series is a recreational regulator. It's good but....

What do you imply? Do you think it is not good for technical diving?

In addition to Phil Ellis' comments above, you can talk to this guy, he'd know, he's dived the Legend pretty deep:

I fully agree with what ppl have posted above. truthfully i won't add much to the discussion, and haven't used any Legends before. just wanted to add this as an aside.

Current depth record: Nuno Gomes 318.25 mtrs on Poseidons. (i believe it was Xtreme Deeps on the bottom and Cyclon travels)

Cheers,
