New Dive Rite Jetstream Regulator $299. Holy Cow

[law717]

I found this deal online while looking for a new reg for myself and my wife and I just have to tell someone else. $299.99 for a Dive Rite Jetstream regulator is insane. You have to buy 2 to get the price, sounds like a hell of a reason to upgrade to me.

Crazy John Specials

I will post back with a review. Ask for Paul the guy is the bomb and they got all my future money.

...on paper I agree that's certainly a bargain price...my area of concern would be the following though.....that DR reg is really a Poseidon, and Poseidon's are famous for being a bit tricky to find someone to service/tune them properly......so the odds are low your average DR dealer is also a decent Poseidon repair tech too.....if I weren't already well endowed with regs as is, and I were reg shopping, this would be the thing that might keep me from jumping on this deal.

P.S., I already own a number of Poseidon Jetstreams (which is the exact same 2nd stage as the DR reg on sale) so I already know about the 'issues' obtaining proper serving on these units. They're fine regs, performance wise, the tricky bit has been finding/keeping good service techs for them.

Good deal,yes. But, just wait until you find out what it costs for parts and service.

Thanks for the heads up. I already budget around 100.00 - 150.00 a year for service on my current regs. Would this be about would I can expect to pay to maintain the Poseidons?

Im not sure but i think its about $90 per reg... I thought I saw someone in Virginia servicing them for that price.
