The Family of Phoenix Regulators

Sun Aug 08, 2010 2:33 pm

Here are my 3 Phoenix Regulators. Many have seen the "Bumble Bee" Powder coated regulator in action, "Goldfinger" under glass, and the newest to the stable is a chrome DA # 06-150 done by the master of chrome, Dave. It is a chrome wonder that you could dive into and swim around. It started as a matte finish DA with bent, out of round cans and damage to the horns. Dave straightened and made it better than new again. It is almost to beautiful to dive but I will at Portage. Just wanted to thank Dave and Bryan for providing FIRST CLASS service here at VDH! I am looking for ideas for #4.

Karl,

Those are some beautiful Phoenix Aqua Masters. I look forward to seeing them at Portage and diving my Phoenix with you this coming week.

Dave's chrome work is without equal. Thanks to Luis and Bryan for making the Phoenix a reality.

I think PINK would be lovely for the fourth one in the family. I can't wait until mine is ready.

I promise not to ask (too many times, anyway)...... is it ready, yet?

Thank you so much! ScubaLady
