I am not good in remember name but his avatar, cover of Jethro Tull's record of Aqualung, certainly caught my attention in the beginning. Picked up a lot of useful tips on regulator servicing. hard to replace.
I hope SB will gather all his threads for us to read.
RIP

I got an email from his wife today, so very sorry to hear this...
Really sad news.
In 2019 I first subscribed on Scubaboard for searching help fixing a SP MK15 first stage.
Couv and Lowviz were the two guys helping me solving the issue with a nice deal: I swapped my MK15 with a mint MK10 sent me by Couv, while my MK15 went to Lowiz, who was searching for one.
We had many other fruitful interactions, and after building an aluminum mold for creating SPEC boots for the MK10 I ended up giving it to Couv, who hopefully made good use of it.
He was really a great resource, providing his deep knowledge to everyone.
It is thanks to these two guys that I am here now...

Ditto, Robert was so very supportive when I first got into DIY. I owe much of the knowledge I now have to Robert. Thank you Robert.
Just catching up on emails and SB posts after the Christmas break... was shocked to first learn of Robert's sudden passing via an email from his wife Julie.
Rob and I had exchanged many emails and DM's over the years, I bought regs and spares off him and found him to be very generous and patient in sharing his knowledge of DIY SCUBA repairs.
Vale Couv, you will be sadly missed...

It's amazing how many of us were helped out by Roberts generosity. I to found parts to rebuild and upgrade some Mk V's and 109's through him. People like him made getting into DIY and Vintage very enjoyable. He will be missed.
Still has this LP album but the cover is in terrible state. Can't play it anymore because of lack of turntable.
