I envy the simplicity of those old rigs... I recently watched part of a Cousteau film where they emerge from the water and easily casually sling their very simple rigs to the boat deck and I gotta say that looks like a lot more fun than being burdened with a ton of complex gear. The white cotton straps on my new “FrankenBC” are a reference to that. I was thinking... could I do that? Like if I went solo shore diving in say 25-30 feet of water, with the surface as my redundancy, do I need a pony, an octo, or a bc, or a computer?
