I just acquired a UDS-1. US Divers Aqualung.
It is a 3 tank system inside of a fiberglass shell. From the research that I have done these, were only made from 1974-1977. The tanks have a 1973 hyrdo date on them, which suggests that this would have been one of the 1974 models. There are 3 aluminum tanks with a 3000psi pressure rating.
I don't know if the unit works or not, the tanks are empty. I will pull them off ad do a quick visual inspection. I am trying to figure out how you would even fill them as the regulator mechanisms are built into the valve assembly. There is single hose USD second stage, a pressure gauge and a 3rd whip that look like it could go to BCD (which would have been a Horse Collar, if they used one), Is that also the fill whip?
I only paid $65 for the unit, I am also trying to figure out what it might be worth, as I have already had several people inquiring about it.
