Browsing the shop at Scuba Club Cozumel, first I found a dozen or so of these patches and wondered if they were original or if someone had run off some reprints:

Then I saw this for sale and figured the patches are originals. Does the "new in box" status make it real treasure? And it looks like two of them!

I remember these regs being on dealers shelves a long time ago but best I can ascertain is that they were average performers, nothing wrong with them but nothing notable!
AFAIK there is no support for them now and no significant interest in the vintage (or other) community.
I could be wrong, if I am I hope someone else will chime in who is wiser in such things- until then I would probably hang on to my money if I were you.

Believe me, no intention of buying one. I had hoped to impart a sardonic tone to the post. I really couldn't believe my eyes. They have a selection of Seaquest BCDs, too. But that name hasn't been gone as long.
