Not a huge fan of basketball, and this thread doesn't have anything to do with basketball but I wanted to showcase some of my gear and please feel free to show case any gear that you've recently picked up and plan to dive this year! The image below is a test, it's one that I've edited to change the colour, can't remember where I found it.  TD |

For the first post of 'March Madness", I have the Spiro Mistral I received from Phil, as well as a Beuchat Tarzan wetsuit, and an early Aqua-Lung BC. Still holds air and happens to work orally and with a 16g CO2 cartridge.  Here is the serial number. 38118.  TD |

TD,
Do those BC's still hold air? If you need some parts for them, I probably have some in my bone pile. I haven't looked lately, but I could have a few of those consoles shown in the catalog picture.
Down in Monterey for the week hoping for some:
Good Dives,
Charlie

Down in Monterey for the week hoping for some: Good Dives, Charlie Both BCD's still hold air and are functional. I'm gonna use one myself (the silver one) and I might just keep the yellow one for display purposes. I have a couple SPG's that I'll show soon, and one console is pretty neat but I have no idea what year it is. TD |

This image is fascinating to me:  Is this gear from the late 1980's or early 90's? Adobe illustrator was released in 1987 Photoshop in 1988, and this feels so cut and pasted. Very fun and dated, as must people didn't, and still don't, know anything about aesthetics and just let the machine do all the work... "Hey that's cool, can you put a fade in there?"
"How's this?"
"Dude, that is so totally rad... OK, now make something in the corner that looks like ice, or, or, or... foam!"That little image of JYC and his son is so jarring--WOW! Again, very fun and thanks for sharing TD  JB |

Jay I think this was 83 if I'm correct! I had no idea that photoshop has existed for that long, I thought it was like a 1999 thing!
There's more coming today, March Madness Day 3!

TD It had to be before 1979, as that when Philippe Cousteau was killed. In your first photo in this thread, anyone notice any discrepancy in the equipment shown? John |

John Sorry for the confusion, that's not phillippe that's Jean-Michel Cousteau. JMC! There was also a line of JM Cousteau Gear. I'll post some on that soon. I don't see any discrepancies John, do you?? TD |

Yer both wrong, it's Jim Cousteau  A while back someone had one of these on eBait: they had it listed as a Jim Cousteau-regulator, not "J.M." Ol' Jimmy got himself a yellow 1979 Trans AM, he liked it because he could kick he snot out of his dad's Peogot: he loved the car so much he insisted they make a yellow regulator in its honor... Dude, it's all totally true--REALLY! JB |

Yes, I see a discrepancy. These Cousteau divers, and Jacques Cousteau himself, are wearing the integrated unit, which normally we saw with a front-mounted integrated regulator. But they are all using a tank-mounted Royal Mistral double hose regulator. John |

I can explain that. These were the special Hydrodynamic Aqua Lungs designed for the Antarctic expedition. Only 4 were made. Ryan Spence has one of the original arctic units. The UWOJC Hydrodynamic aqua lung that he has is made from casts of the original, if I'm correct. It was different as it had a backmounted Mistral rather than on the chest. The helmet was also different. TD |
