I have an old 1965 ROYAL I dive. I stuck a straight mouthpiece on it, as it gives me less irritation. Not very original, but I like it. When I see some yellow hoses on regs that never had em, I think its cool that the divers customize their gear the way THEY like it!

That is a Great Observation Chuck. ( Thank You Sir). ;DYep, as a kid in 1961 I had an Bright Orange 72 Scuba Tank and I painted Big White Polka Dots all over it for fun as I had seen some aquarium fish similar. Soon enough a couple of the girls in our club did the same but different colors and little Fishes instead of Polka Dots. Then I saw where other clubs did it a little. Then I saw some Motorcycle Helmets with Polka Dots and Eyes on the Backs of their Helmets, Ha, Ha. Really funny looking and little kids in cars loved it. Those were the days when you did whatever you liked and just had Fun Yes, the 1960's. I was born in '60, maybe thats why things started to slide. Ha. I see that decade as being the last of the innocence of America. I know I was very young, but with the 70's I could really sense a change. I think that's when people stopped having fun and became more "combative" for lack of a better term. Thats also when single hose reg's came into vogue. Ha, go figure. People seemed to have alot more respect for others back then. Too bad those days are gone. To bad we have Rap. Too bad we have Brittney Spears, to bad we have traitors in politics that embolden our enemies and get our front line guys killed. I wish we could turn back the clock somehow. Bring back the original DW Mistral, bring back the Monkeys. Somebody find Elvis. ha. Guess I'm becoming my father. Well, thats okay. Jim

Thanks, OstrPir8, I think we needed that.
Let's submerge the politics, blow bubbles, and simply float for awhile.
Oh, and get some high vis yellow hoses--they look good in photos.

We must do all aspects concerning the influence of double hose regulators in the areas of politics, religion, and the enviorment. Did JFK use a 2 hoser? Where and when? Did Jesus use one? That too is possible. What effects have double hosers had on the enviorment? Will vintage diving become so popular it will replace television? These are all important topics to be explored.

Let's see..... Single hose, goes over right shoulder; right wingers? DIR, hose under right arm, across chest, around neck; libertarians? Free divers, left wing radicals? Double hosers; balanced, eclectic, pragmatic and nothing in their faces distorting their vision; i.e. scuba gods Mike Nelson and SeaRat. Humm... Maybe Jesus did use a double hoser.
