Jim, I started using Scuba Pro firsts with the 15, and then the 20 . I also have the g250, poseiden firsts ( I bought them from you , tough guy) , Beuchat with the Apex second ( like what you have) and some Oceanics ( all used with the rebreather). I have one set of secret ( Bill Gavin )regs for my back when I use the rebreather. Clearly, it would be nice to have a fleet of regs that work and for which you can get parts, but like the airlines, I do not want to get recalled out of a fleet, so I still have all of my other stuff, even thoough I have a load of Scuba Pros. So far so good with the 20's. Capt. Jim Mims wrote: > > George, > Poseidens have been the biggest disappointment in regulators since the 70's. > I thought you used mostly ScubbyPro.
