Hoses are nice and supple, I think they should clean up nicely.

I'm with USdiver on this, I love these guys and they breath great. I now have 3 Mistrals and a Stream air. Simple, elegant, yet WAY COOL!! :mrgreen: I am a big believer in the long yoke for a SPG "Banjo" fitting. I hope Bryan gets more banjos in August.

I bought this Stream Air from Bryan last winter and have only played with it in the pool. After reading some of the info on the web, I was afraid it wouldn't breathe very well on a full tank, but to my surprise, this thing breathes great. It's certainly smoother at lower pressure, but even at 2600, it was very nice breathing.

Since I didn't want to sling a pony bottle, I decided to dive my only wetsuit, which a shorty I use in the pool for training. The water was 55, so it was comfortable. (Today, the air was a little cooler, so I dove my Phoenix and used the drysuit.... I'm a big sissy, I know...)

This is my 'shorty' smile!! Ha Ha

I was diving to look for a pair of eye glasses that a friend dropped in the harbor. I found the glasses and also went up and down a few times to find critters for the kids. The reg breathed great no matter what position I was in, or how hard I was breathing. And the sounds..... You can certainly hear the venture!

I owe my wife thanks for taking the photos, I'll try to get some underwater shots the next time I use the Stream Air.

And Thank You Bryan, for another great regulator.
