Sea Cure Mouthpiece

[Oceanseleven]

Just bought a new Apeks ATX50 to replace my Titan LX and thought I'd try their com-fo-bite mouthpiece that comes with the Apeks. After 20 minutes in the pool for DiveCon class the first thing I did when I got out was take my Seacure off my Titan and put it on my Apeks. Never again. That com-fo-bite SUCKS!!!! I also took the lip sheild off the Titan too and it still fits on the Apeks with the Seacure as well.

I like my comfo-bite, but always had a major problem with any Scubapro reg I tried. After the end of a dive I was miserable due to the jaw fatigue with the SP mouthpiece. Purchased the SeaCure for my SP reg and ever since have had no issues.

(If you don't like the comfo-bite, remove it and re-attach it inverted. Some people prefer it that way, but I have not yet tried it).

I have a bad gag reflex and had to cut allot off of the Sea Cure but once I accomplished this by cutting small pieces at a time I had the perfect mouthpiece.
Getting the mouthpiece on my Zeagle Regulator was another issue altogether, are they sure it is a type two. It was more like 2 hours of pulling and fighting.

I just did my first dive with my new Atomic Z1 today. I found when wearing a thick hood, the second stage pushes up against my chin to where I'm biting the mouthpiece pretty hard as it feels like it could it could easily come out of my mouth. (Obviously I wasn't wearing a hood in the store when I tried the mouthpiece.) I compared the mouthpiece to my Genesis safe-second and it appears maybe be ever so slightly smaller/shorter of a mouthpiece. Obviously I need a new mouthpiece. (I'm really a simplist and am only doing rec diving, so I like the "safe second" octo on my BC inflator since I have my primary on a long hose and would give my primary in an OOA situation and I can find my octo very easily being on my inflator.)

So from what I've read hear, it sounds like even if I went with the Sea Cure, I could essentially trim it down so that it would only be slightly longer than the average mouthpiece and thereby reduce if not eliminate the potential for my buddy gagging on it in an OOA situation? Or should I just try a slightly longer "regular" mouthpiece. The feedback on this thing seems to be *almost* overwhelming positive and I've always found I got some jaw fatigue on long dives. Heck, like someone said, the cost is so cheap relative to the rest of the equipment (expensive for a mouthpiece I know) - if it can make a significant difference in comfort I might as well try it?

Solve the problem. Try the SeaCure.
You might want to mold it full size, and then trim it down after it's molded. Shorter wings are just as effective as the full length for Most people. Your primary mouthpiece spends 99.99% of its U/W time in YOUR mouth. The other 0.01% of the time, buddies can deal wif it!! Ya gotta figure most people need Something to complain about. Then they realize how many other things are so very nice. You'll be providing an essential service .

You'll most likely Love It.

i'd like to try one of these due to a bad wisdom tooth incident i suffer from, but really, $156.00USD in shipping on scubatoys (to Australia) kinda sounds a little off to me... Any idea where in Oz i can get one? (leaning on Aussie ppl now)...

=================================
LeisurePro has them for $19.99. Just got mine and already have them molded/mounted on the regs.

Interesting comment from Scubafanatic.I bought my Seacure about a year ago and would not give it up after the first dive.Mine is fitted to a Mares Proton Metal with the high performance Limited Eddition 1st stage.On collecting my regs back from service last week the engineer had removed the mouthpiece and re-instated the original Mares.On questioning him why, he said the inner cross section was smaller than the Mares and using the Seacure was seriously compromising the regulators performance.Now I had used it on some 60 dives,many of wich were challenging in terms of both depth (30/40mtrs) and heavy current (Maldives and Palau) without any noticable fall in efficiancy.Still,he is regarded as possably the best engineer on the south coast so I took his comments seriously.I removed the yellow insert with a pair of long nosed pliers,thus oppening up the mouthpieceto match the regularor bore.I can't see the point of the insert since it seems to offer no noticable structural suport and it would appear from Scubafanatic's post the only difference between the older models and the highflow is the removal of the insert.
