I am officially 1 step closer now to be considered a "vintage diver" today... my Aqua Lung DA Aqua Master showed up from VintageDoubleHose.com, and let me tell ya, she's a beaut. I am REALLY looking forward to taking it diving, I'm just waiting to see if one of the 3 LP72s that I sent in pass hydro. I do have a couple of Newbie questions however, funny enough, double hose regulators arent even covered in my Advanced Open Water Class...
1.) Is there a DON'T EVER DO THAT to a double hose reg, like breathing without being pressurized?
2.) Without a purge, how difficult is it to clear the reg with the valves in the mouth piece (I'm imagining all you do is blow out, but as I said earlier...) I know without the valves, one would need to roll to create a bubble in the breathing tube.
3.) How much "vintage" dive equipment do I need to be wearing for my NAVED photo?
Now all I need to do is find a J-valve manifold for my 72s to scare my Trimix instructor.
