Hello Guys,
I'm not a new diver but I've recently started to get more and more interested into double hose regulators, so I hope you can give me a hand to start off with this kind of equipment.
By all means I have tried to do quite a bit of research prior to this post and as I understand the only way to go is vintage double hose regulators as the more modern Aqualung Mistral is POS and the Mentor unfortunately is not available for purchase to the public but only the military (if anyone knows how to get hold of the latter I'd appreciate to know). I'm not strictly interested in vintage diving as a whole but rather limited to the use of double hose regulators, therefore keep in mind I'd be using this equipment along with modern gear.
Anyhow I'll get to the point, please excuse the quantity of questions but it really is a new 'world' for me:
-To start off with are there any guides/books/information on the subject which I should read and that I may have missed ?
-Where should I get started ? I have found this site (Vintage Scuba - Vintage Scuba Gear at Vintage Double Hose)
-Are there any safety/operational concerns to be noted when using this kind of equipment ?
Thanks to anyone who wishes to help out !
