Excuse me, I've got a question.  I'm just starting to look in to geting
my feet wet (pun intended, no applause please) in tech diving.  I've got
my divemasters cert. and am looking at nitrox certification as my next
step.  Obviously, I am not even close to being able to form an opinion
on the ongoing rebreather debate.  However, my question is about
equipment.  I bought my regulator about 10 years ago, a Posieon Odin.  I
have since learned that the Odin's design is potentially dangerous due
to its upstream valve.  This would, I should think, make it a poor
choice for technical diving.  (ANY diving for that matter.)  However,
Posiedon claims that "90% of technical divers use a Poseidon regulator".
Is this true?  And if so, why?  Although I have had few problems with my
regulator after hundreds of open water dives, I'd like to hear what you
guys think.

Thanks in advance.

Deryk
