It's a perfectly great reg, just like all the regs of that design for years and years like that before they added distracting unnecessary knobs and other doohickeys complicating the process increasing service and costs

Here is an earlier incarnation of the palantic second body, bolted to the front of a rebreather bail out valve

With an open Conshelf XIV exactly the same design after decades still one of the toughest regs alive





Plastic regs?



Te voilà !
 
I use them for my 50%deco, no issues, breaths great.

I had a fried take them down to 60m for his stage tank and no issues as well! That was just a test to see, he normally would use different regs
 
How are your Palantics holding up after all this time? Have any of you dived your Palantics under ice/ freezing conditions? At 100m or deeper?
 
Who dives there do you dive there I don't dive there does anyone dive there?
 
Bought a AS 104 ice diving reg. Check it out, it's balanced and sealed, and has adjustable second stage with venturing adjuster......if you buy a Palantic reg. at Amazon make sure you spend the extra $ 20 for the rebuild kit as parts for these are mostly serviced out of a company in Australia . RETIRED and can't afford Scubapro or Cressi anymore...Palantic great so far
How's your AS104 holding up since you commented over 2 years ago? Did you convert it to DIN?
