I have two questions and I was hoping someone could help me out.
1) Is Sheck Exley the pioneer that first introduced the "octopus" as claimed by many (including scuba: Definition from Answers.com, Sheck Exley at AllExperts, and Long hose diving - a knol by Bruce Everiss)
Or is Walter Hendrick the first as claimed by Andrea Zaffres?(http://www.teamlgs.com/start-a-public-safety-dive-team, http://www.teamlgs.com/dressing-divers-and-tenders-for-mass-casualty-operations
and Omni Divers Underwater Services, L.L.C. - Public Safety Diving - Articles)
2) When was the the first single hose regulator mass produced and commercially available?
