Good morning friends, yesterday looking at the seastar website (I recommend it) I came across this wonderful rarity.
I hope one of the gurus can tell me something, greetings from Malaga.

And this photo is priceless, the super-equipped guy and the girl in a swimsuit and a smile.

Isn't a Scott masked diver featured in doff and don illustrations in the Fred Roberts how to dive book

Perhaps it's in this title of numerous authors

I don’t really know much about it, but I do have a complete set.

The mask is part of the Scott-Hydropack system. Scott has been around for a long time making SCBA for firefighter and other hostile breathing "Hazmat" environments.

Scott is now owned by 3M, and makes the Scott Air-Pak, which is a firefighter SCBA system:
"3M™ Scott™ Air-Pak™ X3 Pro SCBA"


The Scott-Hydropack consisted of the full-face mask with demand valve, the first stage, the cylinder (mounted with the valve on the bottom, like a typical SCBA), and the back-pack.

Here is some information:


The Hydropack was a direct competition to the Aqua-Lung, but AFAIK it was a lot more expensive.







BTW, the original Aqua-Lung was the name used by US Divers for the complete system: “the regulator, tank, and harness” made a complete Aqua-Lung system.

I have been looking for more information on the Scott Hydropack (including manuals, diagrams, and more history), but I am still looking.

I need to service and dive the one I have.
 
Thank you both very much. Luis, you are a living encyclopedia of diving, thank you very much for everything.
When you come to Spain, I'll wait for you with a bottle of "El Gaitero" cider.

A hug
 
I had some really good cider with my relatives in Aviles... That was in 1980, after I graduated from college...

That was along time ago.

That sounds good :cool:
 
to bring you good memories my friend, I hope to have the pleasure of having one with you one day​
