Several times at the end of an open water course, I have broken out a doublehose for students to try in the pool. Always has been a positive experience. The only good thing I can say about the new mistral is that I made about $200 when I sold mine:)

That sounds like something to plan for Eric!

Besides the SP Mk 5, the USD Conshelf was probably the most copied regulator. There are quite a few manufacturers whose regs are internally identical to the Conshelf. Bullet proof and easy to rebuild I think it was one of the best designs ever. My personal favorite reg is the USD Royal...

The Historical Diving Society always presents at the bigger shows. I've also seen Nick Icorn with a booth before showing off some cool stuff. One or both could be at the Scuba Show in So. CA

I live in the Arizona desert and have been diving a rEvo for a couple years. I know of 2 or 3 others as well.

Me too, Terry, one of these days

I kinda like the idea of a "vintage mullet divers forum". Could be some interesting topics on that one. Great discussions like " Hey, pass me that doublehose, hold my beer, and watch this!"

Yep, no doubt about it, the Jet is the best fin on the planet. I've tried a lot of others over the years and keep coming back to Jets. My pair of Rockets are hanging on the wall where they belong.

Seems to me I read in Cousteaus first book, "The Silent World", where they had a whole chapter devoted to seeing how deep they could stand to go on scuba. I don't have a copy any more, but I think they made it to almost 400 ft. One guy on the team did not come back up. Maybe someone else could...

Haven't been on here for a while and just saw this. I am very sorry for your loss Jim, you are in my prayers.

I have one of Tommy Thompson's old repair manual. Interesting to hear his name.

I'm a big fan of Healthways and have collected a lot of the gear they made. I think their single hose regs are cool collectible's just because of the metal exhaust. I've got a Scubair and a Scubastar that I will rebuild someday. Probably won't dive 'em much as doublehoses are much more preferred.

I been drooling over one of them there Hydrgloves too. I'll definately have to sell one of the new fangled ones, I think it would be a good trade. Ron, I love that pic!

I'm curious as to what changes there would be to O2 administration. ?? Handling the equipment doesn't change, is there research saying O2 should be delivered at different rate? Just curious.

Here's the link to Pat's site that Luis is speaking of. Disney Nautilus: A 1/10 Disney Nautilus homebuilt submarine

I'm kinda at a loss to understand this one too. Why would you allow an instructor to introduce people to a course they can't teach?

I do get it. Doing a job that needs to be done is one thing, such as repairing a toilet or trimming a tree. I don't know any rich plumbers or tree trimmers. But scuba litigation? My point was it is unfortunate it is being done at all, as in unfortunate there are lawsuits involved in the scuba...

Herman, I have several old single hose diaphragms and would be happy to share. PM me if you'd like them.

I don't personally believe that getting rich off others misfortunes is anything to applaud. Its rather unfortunate that we have to even discuss legal issues and diving.

Me too!
