Yesterday night I finally got around to watching thunderball on blu ray. Highly recommend. Before I had to watch it on a VHS as I didn't have the DVD. I noticed a lot, like when I say a lot I mean all of it, of Voit gear. I think the regulator 007 used was a Voit Polaris but I'm not entirely sure.
The villain, Largo, and his goons used mainly double hoses. But I'm not familiar with any of the Voit double hoses.
Mike Nelson is the poster boy (rightfully so!) for Voit, but Sean Connery could do the job too.

Have you also noticed that most of the cars in those Bond flicks are Fords? (Except for Goldfinger's Rolls Royce and Bond's DB5.) |

TD, if I dismember correctly, his reg was a Dolphin... The movie "The Deep" featured Dacor gear, but people really only noticed what's her names GSD Spinnaker! "The Monster That Challenged the World" had Healthways gear  JB |

I've never noticed that, but I'll be sure to pay attention to that detail when watching the films again! TD |

 I saw Moonraker when it first came out: evidently they rewrote the entire story so that it would be more like this film:  I mention this only because Moonraker had a space battle that mimicked the underwater battle in Thunderball    But I'd still rather watch this than Bond:  JB |
