Why criticize someone's decoration choices?

The obvious answer for the OP's display is a torso mannequin with head. Kind of creepy thing to have in a den IMO, but de gustibus...

At my home office I had one of the cantilever shelves that was held in with the 50# drywall anchors as the shelf was not made for 16" centers for wall studs.. The weight of a number of first and second stages ripped it out of the wall....
 
BTW - That DH is ready to dive at any moment. Fully functional.
 
Actually the "cut away" first stage in the lower left corner...
That's cool. I couldn't see what it was on my phone.

Judging from the non-diving stuff in the photo, it's no wonder passersby would be drawn to a cutaway of a miniature high pressure valve system. :)
 
Although it would probably end up a bit too large for a den wall, use the hoses (either real or some substitute that is more easily trimmed to length) as the lines for a line-art drawing, with the various components representing features of whatever is pictured.

Example 1 - Representational Art: The hoses outline a simplified line drawing of a whale. A second stage Reg is where the whale's eye would be, the first stage is where the blowhole is, etc.

Example 2 - Words: Spell the word "Scuba" in cursive with the hoses - place the regs appropriately (perhaps in the center of the b or a, perhaps before or after...)

Example 3 - Draw the Dive: Start with a tank valve, have the hose go from there to outline waves or a fish, place the regs appropriately, end with the hose going into or underneath a beer bottle (or whatever your preferred post-dive beverage is)
