Your Best Scuba Antique

[Doc]

So, pack rats, what is your favorite ancient scuba gear?---Bob

It's either my Bend-o-Matic or my PADI C Card that was typed-up by Ralph using an IBM Selectric with the "Orator" Type face ball.

That, or my booties. Or maybe the USD Atpak 3x30cuft... or the USD Full face Mask?

Ahhh, My Lloyd Bridges official SCUBA Mask/(plastic) Knife & Flippers.

Also still have USDivers 3-pane mask; US Divers snorkle and US Divers Rocket fins as well as 4 US DIvers yellow 2 pound weights (all bought in 1975 )

Hi Cap:

So did you teach Mike Nelson how to dive?

[captain]

No, we both took the class of self instruction. I believe he graduated before me.

Is anyone interested in "Mike Nelson's" old doubles? My friend has them.

Is there anyone who isn't?

our would be a old J valve tank we inherited somehwhere - its about 30yrs old and holds only 140bar max (our other tanks are 240bar).

the guys iin the shop are afraid to fill it but it keeps passing hydro

we use it more for cleaning stuff and it hasnt been wet in about 7yrs

My original fins and mask, circa 1972, when I started on a BSAC course at university in Scotland. The fins I still use when I am diving with a camera as the are short, low power, and make control in tight spots easier.

My wife says if I buy any more old diving junk she is leaving. I sure will miss her.
