TX50's all the way, like AndyP says they're solid.

Rick,

I would agree.. also seems daft to spent money for the sake of it. I would use the 40 as the backup and the 200 as the main reg. And you can sell me the ATX First stage   - or alternatively keep it to use on holidays so you don't have to take your main regs to bits when you go abroad..

Which regs would be ideally suited to the DS4's??

Hey Rick,

I went exactly the same route going from a single to twins and bought a TX50 as my primary. I kept the ATX200 as a backup. I'd heard that the TX had a wider exhaust &quot;T&quot; than the ATX and wanted to see what difference it made... anyway it's a great reg and seems the same in performance terms to the ATX200.

One thing to note is if you decide to keep the ATX200 as a primary, swap the &quot;super comfobite&quot; stylee mouthpiece for a regular one - assists with rescuing a toxing diver.

Oh and I am keeping the ATX first stage for my single rig and maybe a stage reg...

HTH,

Fraser.

Hi Dom,

Can't give you a massive amount more as it was only touched on in DIR-F, AIUI it is covered further in Tech 1 but I think the theory is that a toxing diver whilst convulsing may well &nbsp;have his teeth clamped shut, thus preventing you getting a reg into the mouth. Therefore the reg mouthpiece needs to be 'spread' across the casualty's mouth, rather than put in it.

The Apeks comfothing can't do that so I guess is not strictly speaking &quot;DIR&quot;. It's ok on the backup reg though. I think!

Maybe one of the more advanced guys can tell you a bit more, sorry.

HTH,

Fraser.

Cor, certainly didn't &quot;touch&quot; on it when I did the non-cert fundies course many moons ago! &nbsp;I'm gonna have to save up and do it again... up until now I thought DIR was saving me money!

Hi mate,

I got the impression from Mike Kane that all the fundies courses are slightly different as they are tailored around who attends, I was lucky and there were only four of us on the course and we always had at least two instructors.

BTW, did you receive your &quot;X-shorts&quot; yet? Are they any cop?

Cheers,

Fraser.
