a few seabreezers have the power dive low pressure reg, 25psi. what's the verdict ?
Would I be better of getting the likes of an ocean pro or a predator reg as wolf air uses and have the springs changed ?

The Power regulator is ok for shallow diving eg washing the boat bottom. Not so go below 10ft

Never had a problem with mine. I don't go deeper than 3m as that's my limit [old body], others here go deeper.

doesn't matter what reg you use as long as it is a

DOWNSTREAM REGULATOR with any SURFACE SUPPLIED AIR.

That is unless you want your tongue and lungs sucked into the hose if a hose comes loose.
Then any old reg will do

Thanks for the replies. Buy the way the Australian distributor of Thomas pumps won't sell you a pump if you are going to use it for a hookah ! And directed me to power dive. Bit of a bugger as I wanted to get a new unit. Back to flea bay for a pre used job I guess or a lucky dragon number.
ps the Thomas pump 907DBC is only rated for vacuum, the 907CDC is rated for pressure and vacuum

Bought mine off USA eBay. Just got the number off one of the assembled models like Powerdive. The Australian dollar was much better then though.
