HaHaHa,ok no such thing, as I cycle through different things for diving, sometimes you hit a point of “no need to look further” Seaskin dry suits come close at least as far as trilam goes, the neoprene is great but how about a front zip???
when it comes to regulators, I’m circling back a few years to the Zeagle F8
i got a pretty good deal on a new one and then found this on the bay, Ebay that is, claimed to have only 50 FW dives on it and my offer was accepted.
I checked function and it all looked good, well tuned and steady IP, I decided I would just dive as is with the new one as back up. So yesterday starts the “can you buy used and after a few checks just go for it” test, diving in the local version of “yokeland” until next week when I hope to have my DIN parts.
I will change this on to DIN asap and back to yoke for the trip to Curaçao at the end of next month. I know from previous experience with the F8 that it should go a long time before it needs any work.
I did switch hoses. Two dives into the test, they dove as expected, super reliable and easy breathers.
