The Creature-lung is born

[jcarpini]

Check this out folks,

My dead, scratched up Healthways SCUBA Deluxe has been resurrected. I found a new HP seat, a new silicon hose kit And a trip to the chrome shop. wow this reg came back nice!! ( does someone know where I can find a silicon diaphragm?) A fake SCUBA Deluxe label didnt seem right since it wasnt all Healthways anymore. So I felt that a little artistic license was in order. The Creature-lung was born. Jerry Moseman at Faux label Works, was more than happy to produce a custom label for me. This single stage reg breathes much better than my jet-air on the bench, I havent had a chance to get it in the ocean yet. I think the new chrome on the inside of the can gives better airflow than the jet-air's plastic can. what do you guys think?

Yeah, the Critter rocks. Nice restoration. I am more a VOIT and USD fan when it comes to double hose regs but I would definitely like to have that reg !

Hey Johnny - that looks great! We soooooo want to get back out there to dive with you, it's now one of our favorite places. BTW, I dug out that old backplate Lynne told you about & will send you a couple of pictures - if you want it it's yours (otherwise she'll turn it into a wall mount for a plant....)
