Just as the title suggests, what is the most bullet proof and reliable 1st stage of all time.
Also taking into account: simplicity, parts availability, ability to field repair, IP stability over long spans of time, finickyness, reliability.
In other words, if you were stuck on a desert island with one reg to use with very limited resources, which one would you pick?
Please pick your brand then elaborate on model.
For some people a basic unbalanced 1st might be fine, for others something balanced might be a must have.
Everybody has different ideas, I want to know what people think.
I put an “other” choice in case you have a different brand in mind. For instance someone might think that a double hose might be it or perhaps another brand such as Hog or Deep 6 or Dive Rite. I was limited on room for the poll.
I’m going to leave price out of this.
Personally, I’m stuck between two choices, Scubapro MK2, and Aqualung Conshelf.
