I'm a Fish!
I'm going to be selling off all my diving equipment, special books, and photos. If you're a diving collector, I have it. Get ready; I'll post next week.

I woke up today and will never forget Hans Hass yelling, " WE ARE DOOMED." This comment came at Beneath the Sea. Today, I realized he was right. One day, I will tell what I know told to me by........
Longer you wait, the less interested peeps will be. Unfortunately the new generation have no idea of who or what you speak.
 
I'm not sure how many OPS I have to sell, but it's a few pairs. If you watch the End of History Video,, you can watch them in action and get the whole story. This pair has no sizing with data for Patents; check out the date with the blade screwed into the foot pocket. I made 10 blade designs for the OPS. This design won the Time Magazine Innovations Award and was filmed with the PBS Ocean Futures dive team. P.S. Michael, I have your set, don't worry. Note the durometer for my testing for the right flex. Size is XL, and the swirls are from too much mold release. I am going to find more today. Knobs are to aid in turning the blade to change performance. Another great idea I developed over 20 years ago. The Dive industry was not ready for this but it looks like they are crawling toward my early designs. A good thing since I have moved on.

I fear that's only too true... Meeting more and more young French divers (under 30) who have never heard of JYC and with German/Austrian divers about Hans Hass, it's even worse.

It's time for you to write your memoirs Bob !
