2) Did you buy the BC at the LDS?

I would NEVER buy Life support Equipment online...
or at " grey market" either..

Akin to buying a Parachute on Ebay . .

I bought my regulator on Ebay. I then spent the $45 to have my LDS
service it. I don't see a problem with it nor did my LDS. I did get
a comment that said I was too much of a rookie to be able to deserve
such a fine regulator:-)

What reg. do you have John? I probably missed our mentioning it in an
earlier post. So forgive me for asking.

Mares V32 Ice

Can't go wrong John. Good stuff. Good price on the servicing I guess.
My two Atomics cost $75 each to service. I may have taken a bath
though.

Was his a strip and look or did they put in real parts. I pay about
$70 a throw for service on our Vipers.


Dillon;

I had mine done at ExtaSea in Orlando. They returned the old parts.
The folks at ExtaSea tuned these regs. beyond belief. The damn things
were breathing on their own. Well almost. Ha Ha. That was their (the
reg's) first servicing and I didn't know what to expect price wise.
The Atomic brand techs were sparse eight years ago. Remember the blow
torch incident? (Heresay: At one time, Atomic advertised their regs
"T1" as " O2 ready". After the blow torch they changed the manual to
40%). Anyway, now I'm over in Texas near S. Padre island. There's a
dive shop here that does Atomic and ScubaPro. I've got a couple of
them too.


Yo John! Did the annual improve your reg's performance?
