     George,
     
     Questions...
     
     1) Do you use the Poseiden first stage with the Beuchat or ScubaPro ? 
     
     2) What are the PRO's and CON's of the 7' vs. 9' hose ?
     
     THANKS
     
     Hal

Dave, the Poseiden Odin second stage is the "strokery". Use it on a stage and 
get a good second stage, like the Scuba Pro G-250 or the Beuchat VX10. The 
latter is less finicky, I use it when going really long. The thing here is that
     
the Odin sucks water when scootering, it fills with water when you pass it, thus
     
finsishing off an out of air diver unless you hold the purge while passing it, 
and the hose busllshit with the dorky little relied valve and the special price
     
tag is ridiculousness that only a combination of Swedish and Dive instructor 
could come up with "Ve like to make it as hard as our heads".
     
 Adding more problems to an existing problem should be a no no . -g
