U.S.Diver "Blades"

yep - original Blades, not the new ones. Great fins, still what I dive.

I have a pair also. Love my "old" US Diver Blades. They just keep on diving, and diving, and diving. Tough product. No problems. No sign of problems

What is he wearing on his back? One reg only. Kinda curious...

He is wearing a set of triple tanks.

You only really need one regulator to breathe out of. That is the way we always used to dive.

You mean the ones he is dragging around the bottom? Confirmed they are Blades or as Jean-Michel likes to use them as "shovels"

the tank thing that the diver is wearing is a plastic shroud, as I understand its purely for aesthetic reasons. Blair Mott can probably comment on it more as he worked for JMC for many years.
