Anyone have a suggestion for a small light second stage that would work well with salvo,hog type first stages. My new dive buddy is about 100lbs and wears braces so the zeagle is a little uncomfortable.

Aqua Lung Micro.
Let me check because I might have one of those and I need to find something to Pay it Forward. I'll check tonight.
Cool ty

It's an Omega. One of the best breathers ever. (As opposed to that POC USDivers Micra someone mentioned earlier...)Quote:

The Poseidon xstream regulators are super light. I haven't used them, but Forrest really likes them!
I thought of them but I'm not sure the Poseidon's work and play well with others. Thoughts? I was always under the impression they use a higher IP.Quote:

Yes, and they're pretty easy to build.Quote:

Didn't the Omegas free-flow like a SOB?
I've never had one freeflow. I use them for sidemount.
There are two models - or at least two versions of the Omega. The early one was a bit sensitive if not adjusted just so; the later one was an improved version. I had them when they first came out and one of the two tended to free flow a bit at depth (bubbled a little) and drove me crazy trying to adjust it out. The other one was fine. I never did try the "new generation" version, but the LDS said they fixed the free-flow issue. But if Sludge is diving them, that's good enough for me!

Yes, mine and pretty much all the ones I see on eBay are actually called "Omega II." I know that when I started working at Planet Ocean in 1995 the ones in the Oceanic catalog were called Omega II, so that means pretty much all the ones made in the past twenty or so years are the "improved" version.
