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

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

  3. It’s not. The machine is called a lathe.

    The drill is fixed, and the part is spinning.

  4. 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 :)

  5. 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 ;-)

  9. 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!

  11. 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,

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

    Great video though.

  22. 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
