    Default Russell Edge and regulator repair

    Russell is a little known secret for his servicing of Scubapro gear. I put him to the test recently with a regulator other than Scubapro that a factory service center had two shots at and couldn't get it right. Russell had it breathing 5X5 in 2 minutes. I don't have any doubt that Russell could take an old Dacor Enduro and having it breathing like a Posedin.

    Russell has always been a wealth of reg knowledge, I'm not surprised. Good guy to have on speed dial

    Actually these breath better than Scubapros,and when they were manufactured were 1/4 the price.

    If Russell would learn to work on Poseidons, then nobody in the country could top him.

    Poseidons have a bad name in this country, because there aren't many good technicians that work on them. If they aren't done right, they do make strange noises, "creep", etc. FWIW, none of mine do any of that.

    Not to mention you have to "suck" to get air. Some people like that I understand because they have to suck both deep and shallow and they like the consistency.
