Scott,
'Good to hear from you, and congratulations on continuing your diving experiences. I have developed several pieces of gear that could help, but are not on the market. I'll show them to you via message later this week.
Your "giantfroginthepool" analogy is great! We'll take up discussing next steps here too. Below is the Para-Sea BC concept I developed in the 1980s, and still use, but which no manufacturer decided to commercialize.

Thanks for the response, John, …..Para-Sea BC.

Cool Beans. Low profile, indeed but has just what I need to adjust to my changing physical conditions. I had my wt. belt adjusted back in Sept. 22. This year my B Y pool just collapsed, T G w/o me in there checking out gear or target shooting w/modified-point spearguns.( …Yeah, I am a ‘dive nut’ ..) ..where is Americas Funniest Home videos…seriously, NOT funny as something could have caused quite an injury if I was in there. I’m blessed.
I like the design as it looks to preserve the Vintage diving experience w/o needing to have ‘various’ belts adj to salt water, fresh water, full or partial wetsuit, etc. and it’s not ‘all-enveloping’ making U/W tasks easy to perform like hull inspection, pool inspection, pier inspection. …(know any divers that have done these kind of dives?…

) definitely not logged and (gasp) no ‘buddy’ with me on most occasions…just surface support.
Yeah, I would call non-BCD double-hose dives my ‘Fun-Dives’ if I wasn’t shooting macro pics on a reef. …again, I digress…
John, you have piqued my interest…please send me more of these pics, and drawings. Ray, my Repair bench ‘buddy’ in Virginia Beach has some possible links to folks who may be able to produce these on a limited basis…that is if I can get them to respond. They are somewhat ‘guarded’ with what they do. I have been trying to see if they have someone to replace ‘O’-rings and repressurize some of my vintage pneumo spearguns that leak air. No response to this yet …AirTech SCUBA out of Raleigh. I am trying to avoid an oily-mess on my kitchen counter at home…also repair bench for me.
