Hi

I've got a hub and love it. Certainly NOT worth the inflated price though (I got mine second hand (8 months old) with guages for under half price.)

Bugger all use for anything other than recreational diving but suits me.

It is good for commertial but a very bad idea for diving.

Why?

A hub is a good quality BCD, high end Mares Regs and 1st stage. Only real difference is the way the hoses are routed.

I wonder how it feels to have a hose blow on one of these?


My reasons for thinking these things are a bad thing for most people stem mostly around two factors.

1- Zero upgradability. Like it or e-bay it.
2- Custom everything means big $$$ when the repair bill comes in.
