Luis is absolutely correct in that Ryan has some wonderful Cousteau gear, much of it made by himself using the actual gear for a model or mold so it is the real deal.
I believe that one of the reasons that Cousteau used the double hose regulators in addition to their simplicity, reliability and functionality and did not use octapus, bungeed seconds, redundancy or even spgs was that he was a cinematographer first anfd formeost and all of that c--p hanging and dangling and dragging around would have distracted from his "man in the sea" spaceman, streamlined look he wanted to portray. That is he wanted to portray man as adapted and at home in the sea so his gear was sleek and streamlined emphasizing a modern look that makes the cumbersome dangly contraptions dived today seem silly and ill adapted.
