My absolutely useless semi-dry snorkel.
It's been relegated to comic relief during my dives and is also used to point.

Aqualung Micra 2nd0stage with Cousteau 1st stage. Did not like the performance in colder water. My bad decision when I was a newbie.

It will be interesting to see what washes out in the next 8 days in the Keys. I will be trimming out a new H BP w H Elcipse wing. I have total confidence that it will be great, but stanger things have happened. I can't wait to get in the new rig.

It's got to be better than mailing in your posts.

With that said, I would like to try out some U.S. Divers/aqualung items. I've never heard anything bad about that company's products.

Well Tigern, allow me to be the first. But first off, this is my first ever post on this forum, so Hi Evryone

What did I buy that I regret?...An Aqualung 1st and 2nd stage! A Titan XLC. I had been using a Sherwood Magnum for about 6 years, doing over 300 dives with it, and never had a problem. Sherwood regs in Australia carried a lifetime warranty. But when Sherwood chose another Australian distributor, the lifetime warranty was dropped. My local dive shop then decided to stop selling sherwood and switched to Aqualung, and they talked me into trading my Sherwood in on the Titan XLC. What a pig of a reg! It regualarly free flows, even after having it serviced. But worse than that, I had never experienced dry mouth until 10 minutes into my first dive with this reg. It's not just a slight case of dry mouth, it's absolutely chronic!. After 2 dives, in one day, with this reg, i was peeing orange for 2 days, drinking as much water as humanly possible took 2 days to totally rehydrate. I'd hate to think what would happen if i was to do a liveaboard with this reg. Doing 3 to 4 dives a day, for 3 or 4 days or more. I'm sure i would end up so dehydrated that I'd undoubtedly end up with the bends. I'll be replacing it as soon as i can, even though I'll be losing lots of money on the deal. Two of my close friends fell for the same trade in deal, and have exactly the same complaints.
