Ahh, a comrade! I alos dive 2 Jetstreams, but really like the simplicity of this old Healthways. I can't wait to try it out and see how it dives.

I'm a 'techie.' Dive OMS, Poseidon's, Nitrox, dry suit, etc.
Just seeking (and just found) a more simplier way to just dive for 'fun' with less gear on!

Help!
I'm new to this forum!
I just aquired a DA - "auqa master"
I would love to get my hands on any information anyone has on this. (What gives with those "box clip"?)
I also picked up, a while ago, in a yardsale grab bag a Voit Swimaster "Titan II" and a pair of Waterlung "Sport-Diver" Regs. Any information on these would also be wonderful.
Thanks, nautical_voyageur@hotmail.com

The Voit Titan II is a Terrific Regulator!!!! The AMF Voit Swimaster Titan II is a single hose version of the Voit Trieste double hose regulator. The Titan II was perhaps the world's finest single hose regulator at the time that it was introduced. I have one and dive with it. It has very little inhalation and exhalation resistance and provides all the air that I can ask for. It has a strong yoke, a balanced diaphram first stage, and a down stream second stage. You will have to get an adapter if you want to add extra hoses for an octopus and inflator. It has a HP port for a SPG as well as its own built in J-valve. The first stage shares some parts with a modern US Divers Conshelf or Titan. The HP seat is interchangeable. The second stage and its diaphragm are identical to older Voit/Mares MR-12. The parts are readily available. If your local dive shop says that "it is too old" or "not any good", don't listen. Either they do not know what they are talking about or they just want to sell you a new regulator. You can send it to Dan here at vintage scuba supply to get it fixed.
Here is the wording from a Titan II advertisement in a 1967 Skin Diver magazine: ******************************************** "We put our money where your mouth is. A lot of dollars, research and development went into perfecting the Titan II. But then, AMF Voit Swimaster wasn't out to create just another good regulator. Those were already available. From us and from others. Our objective was the world's finest single-hose regulator. One that would be a breath better than regulators of this type had ever been before. We believe that we suceeded with the new Titan II. Most important, so do all who've tested and used it - including the Navy. The Titan II has a matchless fully balanced first stage. The most effortless inhaling and exhaling action avalable today. Extra large exhaust ports. And - an exclusive Swimaster V-IJR Reserve Unit built into the regulator that will always provide 300 pounds of constant reserve. Price? How does $97.00 grab you. " ******************************************** $97 was a lot of money in 1967. Probably the equivalent of $500 today. Don't put the Titan II in a display case. Overhaul it and go diving with it. You will be surprised at how well it breathes. It looks cool too.
