From EskimoBluDay: Re the Oceanic Omega. Another reason not to like it is the propriatory hose. You can’t change the hose useing a standard generic hose. You are stuck with buying a special hose from Oceanic. I’ll take my Hollis 500SE over the Oceanic anyday. Standard hose and doesn’t breathe wet.
I don’t know who told you that, I put a long hose on my Omega I and when it went in for service the parts needed to fix the 2nd stage were approaching the price of a new one so the shop sold me an Omega III 2nd stage for $200 and transferred the long hose over.
The Omega III doesn’t breath as wet as the I and it’s only a problem when looking left under something. I haven’t tried a Hollis but I would trust Hollis them, they are made by the same people.
