    Just OW in 80's, then an AOW card started becoming important on dive boat trips. Stupid!

    Dive Equipment:
    MK10's, Poseidon and Atomic 1sts. D-series 2nds, or a G-250, or Atomics, or either Poseidon style. Or an old Scubapro 109/156 when I need some chrome. Or anything that I can restore that breathes nicely.
    A MK10 with a DIY environmental seal is my standard rig when not using Atomic or Poseidon.
    Starting to restore my first double hose regs, and finally got a Kraken!!!
    Freedom Plate for single tank. VDH wings are a perfect fit.

    Yep, do Pilots too. PM me if you have an equipment question!
    Cheers!
