My advice is to wait until you're not a broke college kid anymore. Buy or steal some cheap regs to get you through the diving you're wanting to do. THEN, when you can afford another expensive hobby start putting your DH kits together.Dwaldron924 wrote:....

Get a Mistral. Easy to find, easy to service, cheap parts, breathes like a champ. My 13 year old son started on DH regs by rebuilding one.
Get a steel 72 and(if it doesn't already have one) stick a valve on it with an HP port. This removes the need for a banjo to use an SPG(so, no hunting down long yokes for your DHs), and you can use it with your single hose. Another tank would work, of course, but for vintage style buoyancy control, the steel 72 is darn near perfect. I used to find those near Kansas City for $20 or less. Turns out, there is one right in your backyard right now that even has the right valve: https://kansascity.craigslist.org/spo/5700245911.html
