If necessary I can also take off a second stage and give it clean or swap over on to another hose whilst underwater.
I would really not reccomend this with a jetstream, a slug of water in the hose would then be forced out through the reg, this will almost certainly damage the servo needle.

So my question is, why are they not DIR compliant?
I'm sure somebody will be along soon with a definative list, but this will get you started (in no particular order):
1. see above
2. They cannot be stripped underwater without tools
3. they are expensive to buy
4. servicing is bloody expensive
5. hoses are not standard with just about every other manufacturer
6. they fail shut

cheers,
Paul
