How do I order some? I need 7 total.
Someone told me that diving a double hose reg will kill me. I had no idea these things were dangerous.

Scroll up about 3 messages back to one by James, who is making the diaphragms. Contact him directly by clicking on his email icon, or he may contact you when he sees this.

More Experience with the new Trieste Diaphragm...
- I dove my Trieste again last Sunday at the community pool. I didn't try to compare it to anything. I just dove it and breathed... It gave me all the air I need. I then swam underwater laps, trying to work up a higher breathing demand. It gave me all the air I needed. And afterwards just swimming around, it was easy to forget which regulator I was breathing from... Worked just as good as my other double hose regs.

Thanks for the report. Good to hear that you are satisfied with your Trieste!

Be sure and let us know how they work out for you! Best results will usually require adjustments to 2nd stage spring tension and lever height. Also IP adjustment does not have to be limited to the generally accepted 135 psi range. I run mine closer to 140, but even that's not the limit if needed to suit you.
