Jeffrey & others, Once again, ya'll would be well advised to listen to George about these things! Many years ago they were a favored regulator in cave diving. Barry Kerley sold me my first Cyklon 300 mid '70's before I knew better. Loved it until it failed on me. For those who work on your own regulators, next time you tear down a 300/5000, take a look at the piss ass little detent pin at the bottom of the elbow on the demand lever. Mine broke during a dive and guess what? No air whatsoever! This is also not the only problem they have as George already told you. Lucky for me it was a shallow ocean dive and I had a back up. Can you even imagine that CF in an overhead environment or extreme depth situation? I took it back and added it to my "Most Expensive Piece of Shit Gear" pile. I will no longer work on the things either for liability reasons. BTW Jeffrey, I didn't replace it with a "ScubaPro" either. There are other choices one can make. Just an experience you may wish to think about.
