"over 90% of techdivers in the USA  use poseidon regulators"????

Ha ha ha ha.  That's too funny for words.

Did they also claim that over 90% of NASCAR drivers race Volvos?  That would
be just about as true.

I'm sure the techdiver archives will give you several megabytes of material
on Odins.  All I can say is that I sold my last Odin 3 years ago to some guy
from Michigan and was never more glad to get rid of a piece of equipment as
that.  I now have an assortment of Scubapro and Apeks regs.  Take a look at
Apeks if you are in the market for new regs.  They use more standard
fittings than Poseidon which is a big deal if you are in remote locations
and will go forever without service.  If you are buying out of Europe they
should be a lot cheaper than Scubapro.

With the Poseidon you'll have to special-order the hoses from Sweden for
5-times what they are worth and they will be incompatible with every other
regulator on the market.  And you'll have to bend over and assume the
position every time you need an o-ring.
