That is great... thanks for telling us about it. Those double hose regs really photograph well, especially the yellow hoses. The third time I watched it I saw the whale in the background in the beginning of the shots. Thanks Ryan, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Hi Ryan;
Thanks for posting that! I was afraid we would never see the commercial. The regulators with the gray and yellow hoses are DA AquaMasters and the third is a Healthways Scuba. The commercial was filmed in a swimming pool in Salt Lake City, Utah and they used a blue screen to add effects (they couldn't use any gear that was blue or green). Notice the wrist depth gauges on the guys and the knife on the spear fisherman . I still don't see the connection between diver's wearing partially vintage gear and cell phones but then I'm not a mainstream consumer either. But I hope they sell lots of phones and I hope it encourages more interest in double hose regulators.
Dan

That's great, Dan!
I think the producer used vintage gear because he wanted something unique, and the point seems to be that with this....er.....phone (should I call it that?!) you can find a buddy anywhere. Oh, and the other point is....DON'T CALL IT A PHONE!
I wish I could save a copy of the commercial. The web site doesn't give any way to, and the likelihood of catching it on TV all ready with the VCR prepared is practically nil. What channel(s) have you guys been seeing this commercial?

Way to go Danno! Great commercial, and maybe some new recruits for vintage diving because of it ;D Terry

 People WILL notice this Cool Commercial for sure, especially the Millions of single hose divers.  There will be many new Double Hose Buyers and Divers as a result of seeing this commercial. "Thanks so much Dan".  William

Ah! Set VCR and watch Bond. I can handle that. Now I'll have to see if the marathon is over. Thanks John.
New Note: Thanks, John. Got it! I saw it twice today while watching 007.

Now that DAN is a big TV star now, he can put the "AS SEEN ON TV" logo on his rare regulators!  |
