    Default Deep diving regs

    would anyone know how mares MR-22's are in depths over 70 (over 210 feet) meters?
    got a deep one coming up.
    usually use Dive Rite's and Aqua Lung's

    At those depths I bet my life on Poseidon Xstreams!

    The Xstream second stage has a well proven construction with a number of newly developed characteristics. The inner volume, so called dead space, is small, which enables the build up of carbon dioxide to be minimized. At inhale and exhale the resistance is minimal, e.g. 0.07 Joule at inhale at 150 meters app. 495 feet depth. The exhalation diaphragm is protected by a cover that can be removed without using tools for easy access to the diaphragm. The diaphragm's position on the second stage also prevents flowing water from finding its way in to the valve.

    Your mileage may vary!

    Although Mares regs are decent performers, I don't think the MR22 would be considered to be on their top end?

    Have dove them to 170'. Performed great. I had some one complain about CO2 build-up at depths, but I never noticed this. I suspect that he was starting to hyper-ventilate. They are a top-of-the-line product.

    It's almost impossible to outbreath the XStream!

    Yes, my Mares reg has seen probably 150' and has always worked great. Never felt like it couldn't keep up with the demand. Easy to work on, too.
