Subject: Re: Poseidon 2nd stages?
The scuba pro g250 and apeks/beuchat/zeagle  ??/vx10/z50 both come apart w/o
removal of any feature. I have not seen an oceanic stripped myself.

Also my understanding of the odin second is that the pilot valve acts as an
upstream valve, and that its gradual failure is the cause of most wet
breathing odins. I abandonded it for just this reason, despite having the
factory recommended best tech working on them.

The odin is a love it/hate it piece of gear, i hate it from personal
experience and I wont go back. Please dont waste bandwith trying to convince
me otherwise.

regards,

Al Marvelli
