George
If you read the list several folks have had problems with a recent 
batch of new posiedon regs, I was informed yesterday that it is a 
production run evidently and not just EANx regs.

The folks in the course who had the problem are posiedon dealers, they 
supplied their own regs wioth no input from me at all, 

I'm not having trouble with my gear.

On Gavins statement, and the balance of the statement that I and 18 
other instructors on the training comittee of NACD at the time objected 
to was the portion in his chapter that stated to avoid anyone breathing 
from the short hose as it was a signe of thier respect for you in that 
they were unwilling to give the reg in their mouth. That is an 
inappropriate statement to be in a text. That was the one and only 
objection.

Why don't you practice being as polite on the net as you do when in 
personal discussions. It really does not take that much more energy.

Safe diving to you
