Hollis 200LX Second Stage has been recalled following reports of components fracturing

Hollis Issues Stop-Use Notice for 200LX Second Stage

1 week ago By Chief minion

The notice applies to Hollis 200LX + DCX regulator systems and related second-stage configurations purchased between 2 May 2017 and 15 May 2025.

Component concern

According to parent company Huish Outdoors, internal components within some 200LX second stages may separate or fracture, either before or after a dive. The issue centres on the inlet tube assembly, which may lose impact resistance if the regulator is dropped or struck at the adjustable inhalation knob.

DynamicNord TR-80 DIN Regulator Review

1 year ago By Chief minion

DynamicNord’s TR-80 regulator is the “top of the line” in Dynamic Nord’s regulator series of three different models. DynamicNord’s regulators are fairly new to the diving market, and I have never dived with them before. When I unpacked them from the box, I got a sense of quality from how they were made and the choice of materials.
