Gear Maintenance Episode 6: Regulators Sponsored by Dive Rite

[@JeffxMck]

This reg set would really help me breathe underwater

[@yhlee9498]

Good humour make

[@1badsteed]

You don't say!

[@77garywhite]

Why should I win this reg set? Primarily, diving has helped me immensely in overcoming/coping with my PTSD. The ability to take my wife with me (in a more cost effective way) would be huge. I’d love to share with them, the singular activity that makes me truly joyous outside of their company. It would be a tremendous benefit to share the undersea world with her, and move beyond the standard “how was your day” conversations we generally have. Regardless of your choice, I love your videos. They’re exceptionally helpful to novice divers, and are one of the few feeds I subscribe to. Thanks for all the info you provide!

[@martatakacs3530]

I am really fond of your stunning, frank gentleman style! My husband started your video and I cannot go on with my crochet project for I am caught to listen to you on the maintenance of my regulator. Simple, intelligent, clear, 100% conscious. Just like diving itself. Thank you!!

[@alexandercroft4934]

I am in high school and starting scuba. Winning this regulator would help me with the cost of getting into the sport I love!!

[@crissyfuller1308]

My Husband and I are in the process of getting our open water certifications. We have yet to be able to get our own equipment so this would really help us start our own set ups. We have went to several local dive shops around us and most of them carry products that's we just find aren't right for us. This would change our life just being able to say we finally were able to start having our own equipment. Weather we win or lose we wish everyone good luck and appreciate the chance to be in the drawing. Great video... it has been helpful for us and cant wait to watch more of your videos and to learn more.

[@brettfuller8498]

That really is an awesome reg Set

[@hawkintraining]

I am newly certified and new to Divers Ready great dad jokes. The Dive Rite regulator would allow me to avoid renting poorly cared for equipment. Thank you

[@erickortega1585]

Getting this regulator kit will be the perfect gift to my son and best dive buddy as he is new to the sport and is struggling with rentals that are discouraging him from a good experience. Thanks James.

[@alissap2928]

My husband and I were slated to go to Galley Bay, Antigua in June of 2020 but the world shut down. 🤷🏼‍♀️ So, we decided to get certified for when we do get to go. These regs would take us diving in Antigua. Thanks! ❤️

[@ryansriverfinds3232]

Winning this regulator set would free me to give my son a chance to start his diving path and start a new adventure in our wonderful world of underwater exploration so thank you for this wonderful opportunity for a chance at a nice regulator set.

[@brettfuller8498]

I am new to the sport of recreational diving. being from Louisiana the rental gear in my area is horrible at best. this would give me a great start to owning my own gear. Also, this would provide me with a much more enjoyable time doing what I love. It would provide what I need to breath easier and be able to focus on the dive and less on the lack of air my rental system is providing me. This would be a huge step in the right direction for me to continue my learning and training.

[@aldrichtan9412]

As a newly certified advanced open water diver, who's searching for my first ever personal regulator, this is a life changer. As having our own regulators now during this pandemic is the utmost priority, I'll be able to explore and learn more about diving. Keep up the good work Divers Ready and Dive Rite!

[@markspencer801]

I'm diving a Sherwood Reg I bought in 1990 and it still work great since I have taken care of it just as James has recommended. Getting a Dive Rite reg. would be a great addition to my gear and help me as I retire and start my post retirement dive career.

[@r6f4orr18]

Me and my kids (13 and 11) took up scuba diving over the summer. Gearing up all three of us has been slow and expensive, right now I only have one set of regulators so I have to rent the others when we go diving. This reg set would help us get in the water more often and save me a little money in the process.

[@jameskinney4554]

This regulator set would help me dive recreational open water without disassembly of my side mount reg set to build a rec. set. I need an additional reg set and Dive rite gear is what I like & use now.

[@Finis08]

Thanks for putting this series together. I am brand new to scuba and this has been a great tool for understanding what I am getting into for maintenance when getting my own gear. It has been very helpful.

[@patrickgill4096]

This regulator would be with me from my Open Water Certification through my diving training as far as I go, or, until my son is old enough to start diving. He has already expressed interest in learning. James, keep up the awesome content, I started back at the first videos and am currently into 2020 videos. Thanks for all the information you have provided for me to consider what I want for diving.

[@loup5319]

I just watched your bucket list video and loved to see Okinawa at the top. I just moved to Okinawa for work and I'm gonna be here for 3 years so I figured I'd get into SCUBA diving to meet new people and enjoy the beauty here. Thanks for all the great information and content on your channel.

[@TheNixiboy]

Hello divers ready, I am a newbie diver who is looking to improve its diving. I already dived on couple places and I have to say it is a big roadblock to not have a good regulator. I believe, that owning a good piece of gear, that you are familiar with can be breakthrough in my diving. So I just hope I’ll be the lucky one, who will have the opportunity to dive with this regulator and then maybe talk about it on one of your amazing trips, such as Sardines or Bonaire or other beautiful places that you are diving. Stay safe and keep making this videos. They are amazing and inspiring. Cheers

[@turtle_diver4146]

This reg would help me to dive with my dad and sister which I haven’t seen for a year because I live 9000 kilometers apart from them. They all have their own gear and we would love to go diving together when this pandemic is over.

[@sandman1a99b]

This would help get my daughters kit started. She will be working on her open water this spring. I can't wait to have her as my new dive buddy.

[@christiansvendsenengholm5243]

As a new diver this would certainly ease my journey towards better diving, stability, more comfortable and more confident time in the water.

[@jdsimulcik]

I was out of the water for a decade and got back diving at the end of the 2019 season. 2020 didn’t happen, but these regs would let me continue my goal of advanced certs and many more dives.

[@lukem2889]

This regulator would help me start becoming a scuba professional. Gear is expensive, and I know nothing about Regulators but your videos give me a good start. I aim to start my dive master training hopefully this year next time I go to Asia, and this would help a lot. Thanks for the quality content, James.

[@ryanpritchard9542]

Great vid and regs. The regs would be a great for use in the Caribbean on our winter getaways. Thanks for the opportunity.

[@mirmgirl3x7]

Just starting my diving. Im watching your videos all the time to get the most knowledge i can before i do my certificate as covid has put a stop to a lot of things in life. This reg would be amazing and helpful as we have 6 boys and not a whole lot of money for new diving equipment. we love your videos and are always finding a good laugh. either way, thank you for the consideration.

[@jacobhicks7959]

Sooo glad you explain the physics of cleaning the purge button, Alec Piece said basically the same thing quite awhile ago.

[@charlesdarr740]

Thank you for more great content. Once again you have added to what was taught by my instructors. Always appreciated. Receiving these regulators would allow me to involve my wife and daughters in diving and show them what I have come to love. Diving is very expensive as we all know and after purchasing equipment for my son and myself this year winning these will certainly make it easier to outfit the rest of my family as they are about to start their journey towards certification later in January.

[@Thomas-mf9qm]

Being at the beginning of our diving adventures, this reg set would easily follow my wife (and she would get it if she wants it) and my dive adventures over hopefully the next 10-20 years including lobstering, spearfishing (eventually, hopefully), and many an adventure off the coasts of FL or wherever life's travels take us.

[@geoffreybowker9448]

This would be my first Reg set up as in my first year of diving, COVID may have delayed my trips but still managed to get out and get some diving in. Lets hope 2021 is better for us all

[@crimsondarne]

In 2019 I got enough dives on my belt to know I am hooked for life and then covid hit... After a dry 2020 I'd love to take my diving to the next level with my own equipment - this regulator would be an epic way to get back into the water in 2021!

[@gillesturner734]

Great set of regulators! I learned a few things on this video; I always rinse mine pressurized but now have another option.

[@PGchannel-p5m]

This reg set will be in my every diving journeys in Thailand and all over the world.

[@christiankillion9915]

This set would help me build my first diving kit. Recently certified in Central Oregon a few months ago and just got back from my first dive trip with a cousin in Florida. Since I got home I have been researching what I should get which is how I stumbled upon your page. Fingers crossed. 🤞

[@alecweiss1236]

This would be great for both tropical vacations and some gritty reservoir dives here in Colorado

[@francisbevacqua8014]

Great context! Great tips! I bet it breathes amazing. My old girl is showing her age, but she’s maintained yearly. Thanks again!

[@moroheus]

This regs set would be great for the live abord that we would love to do this year in the red sea or somewhere else where it's warmer than in our local waters. Thanks for the great video!

[@bdoran6]

My wife and I got our open water certs a week ago. I'd love to have this regulator for one of us to use throughout our diving experience to advanced, rescue, and beyond.

[@mikeramsey9747]

This regulator set could easy help me enjoy a nice dive down in Bonaire or Aruba, of course a couple of dives in the Keys to complete Advanced Training would be fun too.

[@craiggoddard3528]

This reg set would really help me in setting up my own gear and get in more diving in OZ & South Pacific.

[@dman6377]

I have recently started diving and this gear would be used to dive around the world when and if COVID ever lets up. I have wanted to learn to scuba dive for years but only started this past February, only to have my OW course postponed after the first three dives (thank you COVID) I completed my OW dives in June when we were allowed to get back in the water. I have watched most of your videos and really enjoy learning about how to maintain my gear properly. This gear would be a great start to the gear I need to further my diving experience. thank you.

[@spikeontour]

Got into diving a few years ago abroad, unfortunate the dive school wasn't big on health and safety at the time that was 2006 and now really need my own equipment to feel safe.

[@Robert_H_Diver]

My significant other and I plan on traveling a lot and diving a lot this year and this would be a perfect all around reg for one of us.

[@jaycefitzpatrick4975]

As a new diver this reg set would be a great stepping stone to getting started

[@birdieboyzgolf]

i just got my open water certification in the Philippines and I'm planning to purchase my first regulator. this regulator would be the perfect one for me since i do not have the money yet for a new one and am looking to dive more this 2021. This regulator would take me to see and experience beautiful dive sites around the Philippines without the need of renting and reusing ones in the dive store. Winning this contest would mean a lot to me and give me a great headstart in my diving career. Cheers to 2021!

[@dannysingletary9648]

Thanks for the video James. I managed to get up to the Whitsunday Islands for some diving over the holiday. This reg set would help me dive in more wonderful places here in Sydney and hopefully beyond if borders ever open again✌️

[@tobiashartung856]

I'm getting started down the teaching route and this reg set would be perfect for my open water teaching setup.

[@emmylee8862]

Perfect Set for cave diving training in 2021! I've already completed the cavern course.

[@bernielucansky1645]

Thanks James. Now that I know what a task proper maintenance is, I'd have to wonder what might be omitted in a busy tourist operation at high season. Motivates me to get my own rig all the sooner. Hope that you and yours have a great 2022!

[@DiversReady]

thanks you too!

[@edchasan5283]

Thank you for the great tips! I'm ready for a new set, looking forward toward more diving. The set will help me introduce new divers as well!

[@humbertocamisotti9127]

I have to modernize my reg to go far beyond in the scientific diving... you have the power of helping me ;-)

[@johnadcock6852]

I have been looking at exactly this regulator package. I upgraded to a Dive Rite Travel Pac BC but still diving vintage SP unbalanced reg. Looks like a true advanced package.

[@joshuanorris8188]

My 10yr old has started expressing interest in Junior Open Water training so I am going to need to start purchasing additional equipment. This would give him a head start.

[@N0amLevi]

This reg set is SICKK, no doubt it will join me in any future dive adventure, and a wounderful addition to my gear set!

[@febriannesukiato8883]

This reg set would really help me out as a student of coral biology. I've learnt from this video that some of the rental regs I've been using were really suspicious... Thanks for letting me know what to look out for!

[@Connor312_]

As a new open water diver, I am looking into getting my own gear (rental isnt that cheap for students), because i really want to dive more, particularly this summer -which this reg set would definitely help with!

[@nathanduval8726]

Now that I have just completed my advanced open water cert, I am upgrading my gear. These regs would match my new Dive Rite wing BCD perfectly and help to facilitate my diving adventures in the waters of mainland Japan.

[@jillcat6092]

Love your videos, James! This regulator would make a wonderful birthday present for me and greatly enhance my diving in Mauritius.

[@whoselena]

Being a poor uni student I managed my first year of diving thanks to some VERY old regulators my uncle gave me since he doesn't dive anymore (after servicing of course) . I really need some new ones for next year!

[@freston4]

This reg would be a great upgrade for my AOW. Thanks for making this maintenance series. It has been very helpful.

[@christophealbert9538]

I am progressing from Rec into the tec arena with some extended range Nitrox diving and decompression dives... I need to add quality and trustworthy dive gear to my kit to enable my progression. This looks perfect !

[@1badsteed]

I have 4 kids and a wife who all just got Open Water this year. This would help us begin that journey to gear up! Bless you this New Year!!! Happy 2021

[@mikehill5059]

This is a great set of regs. This would help me build a quality set of scuba kit and dive more often. Thanks for another good video!

[@MegaMrCool09]

Looking forward to taking my advanced open water next spring, this reg would get me set up for my future dives!

[@johnraymond7189]

I was ok with the "screwdriver" comment. I even thought it was somewhat funny. But the "Lung butter" comment left visions in my head that will last a very long time. Thanks James. I want that reg. Wish me luck. Cover me, I'm goin in.

[@jackalexander8811]

Always find it interesting to see how different people have been tought / teach! Thats a nice set of regs that... I'd take it all over Cyprus with me in the nice warm turqoise waters!

[@jimmackey6110]

Thank you for all the videos, they are entertaining and informative. You do a great job with them. I sure would like to use that regulator for my 100th dive in 2021! I am sitting at 94 right now

[@Carefreefour]

I'd end up taking this reg on my ice diving trip in fairbanks alaska next year! Along with all the diving I do here in the pacific north west!

[@mindy2rose]

I'm just starting.. in open water this would be a great piece of equipment to have !!!!

[@johnmillstead8396]

Great content as always. I am planning a move from Idaho back to my home state of Florida (after about 30 years away). This package would definitely help get me back into diving.

[@wyattduerksen4355]

This reg would help me start my first scuba kit. Got certified a year ago and haven't been able to go since

[@tccarter5912]

Great regulator set. I would love diving with them in 2021 and beyond.

[@merdma001]

O boy would that be an upgrade! Love my current Dive Rite gear and that would be a great addition to the family!!!

[@irasmith3615]

Nice regulators! And thanks for the info! If I scored those regulators, I would just give my old regulators to my buddy who is just starting to return to the sport! This of course, would lead to more diving for me!!

[@Teampegleg]

Probably going to get lost among all the people looking to enter the contest, but a dust cap is a good item to add to a save a dive kit. They are like $2-4 and are pretty small. I keep a pair for my DIN regs in my kit.

[@josephgreen7555]

Since I’m new to scuba driving and do not have my own regulator set as of yet this would be a great asset to have to complete my scuba kit

[@mitchpsmith1987]

This set would give me a nice recreational back mount setup, for quick beach dives before work in the mornings

[@onthehamsterwheel365]

Hi James... having my own setup will definitely increase my chances of getting into the volunteer water rescue services, something I have been wanting to do for a while now. It will also provide the freedom to dive more often, not being tied to dive resorts and rentals. Thanks all the same.. and of course, happy new year!

[@duanedavidson7658]

I'm taking the open water class in March, this would be great to help me get started with gear (outside of just a mask and wet suit) for when I start diving after my class. Plus it would be one more thing my wife won't have to complain about me buying

[@redcoalsJK]

Love how there is the 90 degree adapter on the octo-something I need to upgrade to one day in the future. Thanks James for the info on the reg!

[@LodgeMan2011]

This reg set would definitely keep me diving for many years to come! All of my gear is hand-me-downs, with the exception of mask fins snorkel. I’m looking to get my first new reg set and this is the perfect one.

[@seancoons1025]

I have been diving for almost 20 years, and for the first time my family and I are going to get stationed on a sub tropical island. This spring and summer my wife and daughter are getting their diving certs to go diving with me. The regs would allow us to dive together as a family.

[@robbchadwick2793]

I am in Hawaii and that reg set would look great on the Scuba Liveaboard trip I will be taking to the Big Island in April.

[@TheDelman34]

Lots of great shore dives in Nova Scotia that I would take this reg to and use.

[@EODmongo]

These regs would be a great upgrade for me. Would use them in my local quarry, the keys and the Caribbean.

[@ramytk1]

Being new to the sport. I would say. Just having my own reg set would be very helpful period. Great video James. Help new guys like me know how to maintain our kit when we do buy it so it can last for years.

[@douglasljdunn]

This set of Dive Rite regs needs to be seen in my kit on dive sites in Australia and SE Asia to increase your market penetration

[@wadedoucette1819]

The airline I work for just announced we are starting a route to BonAire next month! I can’t think of a better place to try out a new set of Regs!

[@mgelax]

This regulator package would be very nice for the diving we plan to do in FL and NC this summer

[@Wfgross]

I have a really nice Dive Rite BPW setup. This kit will go well with it for recreational diving.

[@michaelgalietti4490]

This Reg set would be a wonderful edition to anyone's inventory.

[@crashlvmc]

My current regs are an old used set that a buddy used as rental sets when teaching. While they are good and are well maintained, it would be nice to have some new regs to dive as i slowly replace all my used gear with new gear.

[@johandouwenga7233]

Hi James. Thank you for this informative video. It will be great to add this to my dive kit as I am slowly now starting to buy my hard gear to enjoy my dive with my OWN gear. Great channel and keep up the good (and hard) work.

[@rithychhean518]

I'd combine the reg with my other reg set so I can do backmount doubles, Sidemount, or sling an extra bottle. That reg bag is also super cool

[@giacomofoppoli7853]

My brothers just started his padi instructions course and it would make the best present for his birthday in February!!!

[@robbo3lj871]

i've recently just qualified as an OW diver and have yet to invest in my own set of regs. this would take me to my AOW and would be perfect for my first holiday dive in The Red Sea

[@lesliegrant1888]

This reg would take me on lots of dives in my hometown of Panama City and hopefully on many adventures wherever I go.

[@marksalvo5242]

Great tips! This reg set will take me to different beautiful dive spots.

[@codyknutson4665]

This reg set would save my dives and as a DM in training, quite possibly, someone else's as well. As always, thank you for the content, James.

[@bauerleinmikeb]

Awesome tips! When I’m not deployed, I try to spend as much time as possible with my family. I’d love to win this reg set for my son, so we can have matching reg sets. I’m getting him into diving. I figure it’ll be a great bonding experience. Thanks a bunch!

[@kevindavison6019]

I'm upgrading all my gear from entry level to something that might last me the rest of my career. Just for a BPW setup for Christmas and Im saving for a drysuit. This regulator set might do just that for me. Probably take me to all the Carribean destinations and the cold water great lakes destinations that were cancelled from this past year.
