June 2016 DH Rebuilds

Hey Folks,

Did the video three months ago and finally edited it and posted it on the YouTube. I'll be posting an interesting one on the Scubapro "Pilot" soon.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for sharing and for doing the video!

Nice Video. The Navy looks brand new, esp. underwater.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. The Navy with a "Cyclone" 1st and HPR 2nd is possibly the best breathing rebuild I've done to date. I know purists out there will say; "But it's not original any more etc. etc. ....waah, waah, waah!!!!" to which I reply: "The reason I upgraded it with MODERN internals is because I actually dive this stuff practically every weekend in remote locations here in Saudi Arabia and I like the ease of breathing a regulator that doesn't SUCK and has reliable components in it that won't fail me 50 miles from the nearest aid station!" :twisted: :lol: :lol:

Bottonline: I really love Cyclones and HPRs because it fricken makes sense!
