Nemrod Aries + original SPG/Depth Gauge

[DevonDiver]

I thought some on this forum might have interest. Found this old gem on my friends' dive boat, here in the Philippines, - in working order and used occasionally for customer rental!

I am guessing it is a Nemrod Aries. Vintage late '70s. Anyone know any other information about it? Worth selling?

Did you get to try it out Andy? It looks to be in good condition!

Hey, if you're ever interested in a double-hose dive, or know people that do, I've got 2 working double-hose kits (a 3rd on the way after I get it powder-coated...)

Not yet... but I might have a go with it on tuesday.

It's a spanish reg from the 70's but no more news...

The only thing I could find even approaching just the general characteristics of the 1st stage was this ad (c 1973):

They look similar.

The 2nd is something else.

The reg started its life as "Sirus" in 1973 with a orange second stage and the new "mono" block first to take 200bar later it was improved and released with a all black second stage and renamed "Aries" a second LP added to the" Mono" block The unit proved to be a WET breathe

Thanks for the info.

Ed: that does look like the same first stage. I can't believe the condition that the reg is in. It wasn't on the boat yesterday... I will definitely dive it the next time I get a chance.

Well, aside from the DHs, I also have a Calypso J and a Sportsways Waterlung W-600...

And you should see the 2nd stages I've placed on my twin-set: old metal conshelf 2nds. Maybe I'll swap out the band clamp screw to a thumb screw so it could still be disassembled underwater... hehehe!

Dang. I need to get that kit AND my DHs wet soon.

I have the Sirus...currently I have it loaned out to LDS for a display of oldie but goodie gear. Its mounted on a board with some other side exhaust regulators. Since I don't have it in front of me, I'll go from memory. I'm pretty sure there are two exhaust valves in series.

Inhale wasn't bad but it is a bit of a soggy breather.

Found the drawings that came with the reg Regards john
