Bill,
That was the first official LA Co UW Instructor Patch. Note: "Underwater Instructor" when LA Co was established the word SCUBA, although coined in 1943, was not in common use.
It was several years later when Richard Klein dug up the term SCUBA , obtained a copyright and began naming Heathways products utilizing the term SCUBA ...SCUBA Star,.. SCUBA Master etc, SCUBA Pro was established as a division of Heathways in 1962, they produced one catalog and went bankrupt . The assets were purchased by Gus De La Valle and Dick Bonin who continued with the name and developing SCUBA Pro into a very successful company until it was sold to Johnson wax company.
It was the very first UW instructors patch produced in the US for a diving agency and possibly the world.
It is about - no - it is over 50 years old and rare.

I learned on the Fourth edition, and this remains my favorite training book for neophyte scuba divers. I also made sure my kids supplemented their PADI materials with this book, as I think it provides much better explanations of both the physics and physiology of diving for the beginner than the OW and AOW manuals they used in their courses. You can find used examples on bookfinder.com It is an essential for any scuba diver's library.
