making a scuba regulator

[TheBignate529]

2 people are gay

[miseryluvsco]

Yay! I loved the Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving! This womens voice was like the same for every PADI video...

[TheMillrat]

And all regulator maker workers have mullets

[Samurailord]

funny at 1:00 how it looks like the drill is not moving, but still drilling the hole.  Cool coincidence that the frames match up like that :)

[qwertyville]

It's not. The machine is called a lathe.

The drill is fixed, and the part is spinning.

[Samurailord]

Oh.. thank you for explaining. Didn't get that at first.

[Annoy1ngRash]

@Samurailord the drill isn't moving indeed, it's very stasionary, the brass rod is turning so the drill won't have to :)

[brittyfighterpilot]

hey just wondering if its possible to make a full scuba gear at your own home if so plz tell me

[scubaengineering]

Yes... if you have a full toolroom including lathe, milling machine, boring machine, etc etc etc, plus all the toolroom skills to use them and likely at least a degree in engineering and metalurgy and a spare 50K dollars to burn on test gear to prove your design works before venturing underwater with it ;-)

[TheMedievalMan]

@brittyfighterpilot I dont think that is what the guy meant. I think he is asking what kind of gear he needs to buy. Then put together at home, to make a "complete scuba set". Not how to manufacture his own equipment!

[1stab]

@brittyfighterpilot Yes you can. It wasn't uncommon in the 50's and 60's to see articles and plans in Science magazines, etc for DIY Scuba. If you do enough searching, you'll find them. But be warned, this is LIFE SUPPORT equipment. So you'll do so at your own risk. If you ask me, a closed circuit system is way easier to make, and a lot cheaper.

[Maxfahrer]

@brittyfighterpilot they did it in eastern germany, no joke

[stagesixx]

Excellent.

[Bri4r3os]

2:01 OMG cut fingers!!!! O__O and...DPI???

[scubaengineering]

Both Regulators have great performance, The Poseidon extreme is quite new and has EC approval down to 200meters depth(from what I remember), and the APEKs design has been used down to 300meters depth by the likes of John Bennett and Mark Elyatt.

Which one is best....The choice is yours!

[danieleriver]

now i understood becouse it s soo expensive XD.. but rhe best for deep it s apeks or poseidon??????????????????????­????

[lasmanitosdelgatico]

Which factory is this? Old US DIVERS?

[scubaengineering]

Yes - well spotted.

This is the old US Divers factory.

US Divers was eventualy swallowed up into the Aqualung Conglomerate, but Aqualung still produces several venerable US Divers regulators used by NATO armed forces to this day.

Out interest, the spare parts kit used to service this regulator is identical to those used in the current Aqualung TITAN regulator, only with a much improved high pressure seat.

Cheers,

[skiboyscuba]

Nice video.....thanks!

[paronfisk]

yoke suxxors ;)

[rifleair]

why they are expensive

this is the answer

[howlettman]

i found a set one cragis list for $200 with all the shit and the 2 regulators and all

[MrFyouall]

One word LAWYERS!

[AdminGoogolplexian]

Yeah. This why those are expensive =D

[Ttorrent]

Hecho in Mexico?

[miller9677]

France.

[JustWonderingHowToDo]

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near those chemicals that are used for chrome-plating.

Great video though.

[olnBrvNeWorld]

I'd like to take your course. Ever consider teaching in the Americas. I'm presently in Mexico.

[scubaengineering]

Hi olnBrvNeWorld,

The training organization has two offices. The head office is located in the United Kingdom, the Asia Pacific training enter is based in Thailand, supporting the thousands of busy dive shops and tens of thousands of Dive Industry personnel working in that region. The organization currently does not have a training center in the Americas. This will likely be the next regional office opened.

regards,

Steve Burton - scubaengineering

[scubaengineering]

Scubaengineering is a training organization for technicians working in the divers life support equipment maintenance industry. The head office if located in the United Kingdom, there is also a regional training center located in Thailand supporting more than 600 local dive centers plus thriving commercial and military dive ops.

[bchapa5]

[PeterBuzzacott]

Interesting stuff
