Looking for Scuba gear from the movie JAWS

[lemke]

There is a US Divers cylinder for sale on Craigslist in Plano, Texas (north Dallas)... although it looks like the USD is steel.

Two Scuba Tanks

Anything to report Brandon? Whats the matter, shark got your tongue?[h=1][/h]

I already own a Calypso. But not a "J" model, until now. I found a good one for sale on fleebay and now I'm one step closer to having a rig like Hooper's. I hope you're making progress with your project too Brandon. All I need now is a mask also.



If you don't already have one, Brandon, this is the one to look for.

I still have my rockets, I got rid of the US Divers Al 80 a couple of years ago. Nothing wrong with the tank, just way out of hydro. The J-valve was a real turkey. It needed to be re-built every 3-5 years, I got rid it because I knew some people don't want to fill 30 y.o. aluminum tanks (it was purchased in 1980) and I didn't want to keep paying for rebuilds on the valve. The tank was from 1980 but I am not sure about the manufacturer of the valve. Has anyone else run across problems with a valve similar to this?

I have a 1973 U.S. Diver's Aluminum 80 with only 3 fills (looks new), like the JAWS's tank!. It's last hydro & VIP were back in the early 80's. J-valve, bottom boot, & ScubaPro backpack. Please contact me by jlewis1@gmail.com for pictures, etc. if you'd like to add it to your JAWS memorabilia..

Hi,

I am a Jaws super fan and Im in the process of trying to aquire some items from Matt Hoopers Dive gear. I am looking for a Aqua Lung Professional U.S. Divers Aluminum cylinder dive tank, a set of vintage black Aqua-Lung Wraparound mask with stainless steel trim with tempered glass writing on the lens, and a pair of US Divers brand- Jetfin flippers. If anyone has any of these items and would like to sell them or know of anywhere I can get them please let me know.

Thanks
-Brandon

Here are some images of the items I am looking for.

I have one of those tanks in good working order
