Long held quest satisfied, Finally bought a 'Classic' Aqualung Micra' Adjustable' !

[scubafanatic]

I finally fulfilled a long-standing reg purchase desire by buying an Aqualung Micra Adjustable-extended exhaust-T/Titan 2nd stage combo. I've had a hankering for one for over a decade now, but never pulling the trigger because I couldn't fine one in very fine condition, or overpriced, or that I'd be able to find one as they always surfaced on E-Bay sooner or later eventually.

But, given that they've been out-of-production for MANY years now, and are getting ever sparser, even on E-Bay, I finally gave in and snagged a very nice condition one (based on photos anyway).

Honestly, I just like the 'look' of the Micra 2nd-stage!

It was my first reg and I loved it, breathed like a dream. The only problem with them now is many parts are no longer available. I know, I've being doing some hunting recently. I've given a couple away recently as they came attached to other regs I wanted. They do come up on our auction site fairly regularly, usually priced $25-40. If you'd ever like to pick up another feel free to messsge me.

Yes, that's the seller...he appears to have more than 1 available for sale. I expect Aqualung still sells service kits for the 'Micra' at least.

Tiny! I see where it gets its name

What parts are no longer available?

Most hard parts it seems. I have bit of a list but it'll take some effort to get the info together as it's in numerous emails. If you're really interested I will post back, or if there's a specific item I can enquirer.

With the wide exhaust T it was even better. Mine was attached to a Cousteau. If parts were readily available I' would have considered picking up another set.

You can buy the seats for both the first and second stage. I have three of them paired with Cousteau regs. I don't really dive them anymore and am getting ready to offer a number of my older regs for sale. I will go through them first before I do. I think I have enough seats to do this. Great reg though.
