Small regs

[eandiver]

Can anyone recomend a small 2nd stage to use with a 13cf pony. Currently I have a Scubapro R190 and would like something a bit smaller.

Aqualung makes a nice small one. Look here: http://www.aqualung.com/catalog/prodpage/regulate/titan1.htm#micra

You could try from scubapro R380, s550, (s600 if ya want to spend some coin)!! R380 is small and descent breather.

Good luck

The Genesis Valor is a Micra clone. You may find some good deals because the Valor has been phased out.

any idea why the valor was phased out? I was wondering why my lds was pushing it so much.... those rats... no discount either

My guess is they want to make room for the newer, prettier, "better", expensiver regs.

Micra comes in two flavors -- adjustable and regular. I have the adjustable as my primary, and it has been a real good performer.

Oceanic and Aqualung also both make low-profile octos ("SlimLine" and "LPO," respectively). I used the SlimLine as an octo.

The Omega II comes in a very small package and is a very nice breathing reg. I actually have a nearly new extra one that I am about to list on ebay. Sorry for the shameless plug!

I have to second the notion for the Aqualung reg. The Micra is a nice breathing reg. If you want something just for a pony, though, it is a little bit on the pricey side of things. If you want something that will work, just not a great performer, go with AQ low profile octo and just put it on your existing first stage. The AQ LPO is a good performer, although breathes wet when upside down.

Lot's of good ideas and thanks everyone.

I have a first stage and hose just want a small second. All it needs to do is work but does need to be reliable.
