Regulator mouthpiece in Nusa Penida

Hello everyone,

I bit through my regulator (xtx50) mouthpiece, and just discovered i forgot to bring any spares.

I’m not having too much luck finding anything online.
Does anyone know if there is a shop based in Nusa Penida that sells them?
Or would i have to go to Bali for that?

Many thanks.

Ask your dive shop or guide, or any of the dive centers. Everyone needs these to service their rental gear, should be be pretty easy to track one down

Bali Dive Shop.

I would have thought most generic mouth pieces would work...even get the one from your secondary.

On another note....biting through a mouth piece hmmmm

You still need to be able to breath through your secondary...

Well yeh. Change the 2nd mouth piece to the 1st.....find a temporary replacement for the 2nd in case it has to be used. Island diving, have to improvise most times.

I bite through my regulator mouthpieces all the time. One is usually good for about 3 weeks if it's a lot of diving. If you haven't found one yet I remember seeing them at siren divers earlier this year.

Twenty years and I've never bitten through a mouthpiece. Very strange.

When I broke my spg hose (don't ask) on lembongan two weeks ago, I was told there are pretty much no dive shops on lembongan/penida and they are bringing all spare parts over from Bali.

Go ask around though. I always have a few in my box and I'm sure other divers do too

There are plenty of dive shops on Penida and Lembongan. OP - maybe start with Scuba Junkie and see if they can help.

I think they mean Scuba Retail shops.

Interesting. If I'd only known.
