AquaDiv Delux v. Conshelf VI

[johnu]

What’s the difference tween a USD Aquadiv Delux and a Conshelf VI ? Looking at them they appearn near identical to me except for the decal on the second stages.

I'm wondering if one is balanced, while the other is not: to the best of my knowledge the Connie is balanced.

As JB stated, Aquadiv is unbalanced and the Conshelf is balanced. The Aquadiv first stage is basically a single hose Aquamaster while the Conshelf first stage is basically a Royal Aquamaster. The second stages of both regulators are the same design.

Coincidentally, there's an AquaDiv Deluxe on eBay right now.

I see what johnu means. It looks a lot like a Conshelf. I'd like to see the guts. But not enough to bid on the overpriced ADD.

Phil, the Aquadiv first stage parts are exactly the same as what’s in the Aquamaster hp nozzle. Same hp seat, spring, castle block, filter and c-clip.

I must admit, I love the top box/can on the Aquadiv: those four vents look rill-neat-o!

I remember trying to have the conversation with Crabby Jim that US Divers was only trying to be cute with the name: it don't rhyme wit give, we ain't divvers, we're divers... Perhaps it's a div-ine regulator?

Phil, the Aquadiv first stage parts are exactly the same as what’s in the Aquamaster hp nozzle. Same hp seat, spring, castle block, filter and c-clip.

Then the body must be a bit shorter than the Conshelf.

I also remember going around and around it with CJ. Not div, dive!

[nikeajax]

BWA-HAHAHAHA!

Well, after all, it's, US, DIVERS, you an' me, ain't it?
