i understand some use mk2. but planning on using em for deco. planning to take up Tdi adv nitrox and tdi decompression procedures.. im going to be spending time breathing on these regs and not just for emergency use. i would want em to be ... balanced hehehe.. i know.. im a luxury diver. whenever i do airsharing drills my buddy is always surprised how "loose" my regulator breathes lol.
Hiok noted on this one... turrets are expensive... i honestly wana save up on stage bottle regs. but not willing to sacrifice the easy breakthing with mk2
Yes and I will post mine, usedis this where I should post a photo of my beautiful unused one that I can’t bring myself to take underwater?
Hi
If I may say, you may have a wrong understanding about balance-unbalanced, the relationship between first and second stages and ease of breathing.
Furthermore, at deco you are not doing too much effort (except if you are in a cave swimming at deco depth).
So any well serviced reg should be ok.
Where are you in Cebu?
Cebu is big...oops, I mean longunblalanced = harder to breathe? after my discover scuba on a rental unbalanced reg, i bought a blanaced regulator and got certified the week after. This was over 9 years ago though.
honestly i haven't taken the class yet. so i woudn't exactly know how deep or what gas i'll be bringing on the stage tank. I assume it would be a 50% or a 100% or probably just Air.
Where... in Cebu? ... Cebu =) are you from Cebu too?
im in cebu city... but i can go to moalboal. I dive mostly mactan. Malapascua is a bit trucky since involves interisland travel. And were technically in some sort of quarantine. But some friends have crossed. Hey howd you know the place?Cebu is big...oops, I mean long
Are you in Malapascua, Cebu city, Malboal,...?
Unbalanced 1st stage... affects only when tank pressure is low.IMO the 1st stage has no or minimal impact on work of breathing when paired with a balanced second stage.
