Hey Vintage SCUBA Restorers out there. All I really need is a NOS MR12 II or even a Mares Abyss second stage diaphragm I would like to get two. I can find 1st stage diaphragms all over the internet. No, I don’t work for or am a certified repair tech by Mares so they, for obvious reasons, won’t sell me a few ( singles, 6-packs, a dozen in a pack…whatever ) to finish a restoration on a vintage octopus on my Waterlung Dual-Air double hose regulator. BTW. This is a Stellar performing regulator but i DO believe in offering spare air on dives especially when I really don’t know who i am diving with. A very Safe courtesy, especially since I like diving my ‘doubles’.
…on my way to becoming certified repair tech after I retire from NC DOT as an engineering inspector plus 20 successful restorations of double hose SCUBA regs, some older than me, to where they are safely diveable. A seasoned repair tech recommended me do this after seeing and ‘breathing’ my work. …Sorry, not for contract repairs as there really is no sanctioned double hose repair program out there. I can answer questions from interested parties though.
