I haven't been an active cave diver since the early 90's and I want to get back into it.
Among many other things I have some gear to update.
I have a Poseidon Thor which has DIN and a yoke, so that seems like a keeper, but I need another DIN regulator. Back in those days the low pressure on the Poseiden was higher than most regultors. I'd like to get something that's compatable with the low pressure of the Poseiden. What are my options these days?

The intermediate pressure on new Poseidons is about the same as most other brands. If you really want to match IP, then look for another old Poseidon.

FWIW, I dove, and sometimes still dive Cyklon 300s, with the higher IP. I got a couple of new style Xstreams, and they are great. The best thing is they don't have any HP "creep" like the early 90s models did.

You will not find any regulators today that match the intermediate pressure of old Poseidons. All modern regs (even Poseidons) have one between 9.5 and 10 bar.

Well that's depressing, but thanks.
