I use Apeks US 4 regs on my back, which are diaphrams with a piston like seat, and I use a lot of Scuba Pro MK20's on stages which are a piston reg. I use a lot of other similar stuff. What seems "simple and easy" is not always what I am looking for. Ther is a lot more to it, and those choices by me represent years of finding out for sure. If Scuba Pro made and adjustable piston reg with no swivel, I might use that. If Poseiden made a decent seat , I'd still be using that , etc. BC should lift your gear at the start of the dive without you in it, with out crowding you or approaching the limits of its size. If you have a balanced rig, that is not much actual lift. I use wings that have 45# of lift for steels and 35 for aluminums, and that is way overkill. If you are buying wings and such, save yourself the bullshit and call Extreme Exposure. geoff.krassy@mi*.af*.mi* wrote: > > Hi, > > In the first DIR video I seem to remember you saying that you used two > different regs (1 piston and 1 diaphram), you didn't say much about reg > types in the DIR2 vid. > > Do you still use one of each?
