    Help ID Old SP gear

    A before and after video would be super cool if you have the time to put one together. Those look like very nice regs.

    Oh Man, You're gonna love the Kraken. They make great cold water regs.... hint hint...... I had a great time and met a ton of great people at the quarries. I do plan to be back but it will likely have to wait until 2025. I'll try to bring the family along and get them over to Cedar Beach...

    Self-ditchable weights

    This looks like what Exley may have been using. There's a similar setup, where the release is attached to a swim float that the dive holds between the thighs until they're ready to ascend, but I haven't seen one in many years. Essentially the kidney bean shaped float also allows the diver to...

    A few Old/New reg's

    The Scuba Museum dot Com has your Healthways Diaphragm, o-rings and seats: Products The prices at VDH are not, in my opinion, that high, considering your other options are usually NOS parts. The new parts at VDH are really outstanding and will improve your reg performance to better than new...

    aqua lung D/A "Aqua Master" double hose?

    Nice looking regulator. It looks to have held it's age well. I have S/N 254455 and it appears to be identical to yours. Same lang yoke, tire screw, etc... Your chrome looks awesome. With a bit of paint on the label and good cleaning, that reg could be made into a nice display piece. (or...

    Project Argonaut, totally new, vintage style DH regulator

    This is a great project, put together by a superb group of people. In the four years I've been dealing with VDH, I've been blessed with the best customer service I've ever experienced and some of the best products I've ever added to my diving kit. I wish VDH and the Argonaut project all the...

    Dive With Own Boat

    This is really an apples and oranges comparison: They are not the same thing... A good carabiner will have a rating on it that is specified in kN, Kilo newton, or Newtons of force. The idea behind a carabiner is that if a person falls off a cliff and accelerates with gravity, they will...

    Looking at a dive boat

    That 21' Penn Yan looks like it would meet your needs - and it's already set-up for diving. The Johnson on it is a 2 stroke, so you're fuel consumption will be a bit high while your running. I'm not certain about that particular hull(is it a Spectra?), but there's a lot of dead rise in it...

    Dangerous gear?

    Dr. Miller, There is a wonderful article on the Legends of Diving site about the "Name" SCUBA vs. the "NAME" Aquq Lung. You may have heard of the author. :D What's In a Name by Dr. Sam Miller - History of SCUBA Diving Thank You again for those articles. Dave Nelson Sitka, Alaska

    Blue plastic Voit DH

    What has been your experience with the labels? I have just found out that there were 2 different labels on the Voit Blue 50 Fathom, one like Dale posted above and one that was solid Blue with white lettering. Does anyone know which came first? Is there a pattern at all? One of the shops I...

    Blue plastic Voit DH

    From what I understand, there were two different versions of this regulator: The VCR5 Blue Fifty Fathom with a Gagnan downstream mechanism, and The V55 Blue Fifty Fathom that was similar internally to the Mistral. As far as restorability, I think the parts are available and they are great...
