Looking for a RAID scuba backpack system. Let me know if you have one and want to get rid of it.

That thing is a odd ball and I doubt many if any were sold in the US. I used to know a guy on Bonaire that had 2 of them, one operational and the other he was restoring. I made a few parts for him. I have since lost contact with him. The thing is an odd mix of metric and British dimensions, it took me a long time to figure out what was what. If you do get one, I suspect you will not be able to get the tanks hydroed, they are odd steel 80 cf Faber tanks. The necks are 1" BPTS so the odds of a hydro facility having the proper adapter is low. I got the chance to dive one of Robbie's on Bonaire. They are horrible to dive. In salt water they are about 10 lbs negative and there is no way to add a BC, as you can imagine, keeping neutral is very difficult.

I think that there is one in the front window of one of our LDS's. How much will you offer them for it (if they will sell it)?
