Wanted WTB Sidemount Regs

[LaneL]

Looking for a Dive Rite regset for SM. Anyone with a set they are interested to let go?

Thanks
Lane

I've got a set of Aqualung titan LX regulators currently set up for backmount doubles I'm selling. Could probably be adjusted for sidemount with new hoses.

Don’t want to rain on your parade, but those regs are missing several features that SM divers look for.

Please educate. I'm interested out of curiosity. Thank you.

Second stage doesn’t have the ability to have hose coming off either side.

First stage doesn’t have rotating turret OR fifth port on bottom of first stage.

These three things can make hose routing much nicer. You don’t need them, but many SM divers think they make hose routing much cleaner.

I like SM regs to have a swivel and 5th port option, such as Apeks DST. 5th ports are nice run drysuit inflation from and wing inflation.

So first point is a must? But second point "a nice to have" but not a pre requisite?

Second and third would be considered more important, but I personally like number one, as well.

Interesting makes sense, thanks
