Do you know how much lift it offered. It looks kinda big. No clue as to lift. Not sure folks talked much about lift capacity back then. If I was to compare it to a modern wing I'd guess around 35 to 45 lbs lift. Sorta maybe dunno.

I've posted this pic before but it is a better pic of my AT-PAC where you can see the short LP hose. This was taken of me by Sam Miller in 1979 at the Catalina Underwater Park in Avalon.

Do you know how much lift it offered. It looks kinda big. They were very large... I heard that you could get a transom attachment to accommodate a small outboard motor (but that could have just been a rumor ).

Bill, I could do a trolling motor but my 250hp Evinrude was too much for the AT-PAC transom attachment.

Here I am before my first dive to 160' at Cordell Bank (located NW of San Francisco) in Sept. 1980. I was using a Poseidon Cyklon 300 reg and double 72's. I was wearing a Poseidon Jetsuit drysuit with no BC. The Jetsuit had a corregated hose that could be used for buoyancy control by mouth or by lp hose. Wow it seems like so long ago. Here I am am at the 10' decompression stage we set up Cordell Bank

Here I am am at the 10' decompression stage we set up Cordell Bank Cool Oceanic Hydro-35 Camera Housing. Did you have a Nikon F2 or a Canon F1 in it? I think those were the two choices.

Mark I had a Canon F1 cause Canon had the cool reflex viewer on top, easy to compose a pic wearing a mask.

Mark I had a Canon F1 cause Canon had the cool reflex viewer on top, easy to compose a pic wearing a mask. I have a Canon F-1N with an Action Finder that I put into an Ikelite housing. I still have it, and may put it into the water this summer. The last time I had it in the water, I found that I could not swim it up into a high current area that I wanted to get photos of lampreys spawning. I did get video of the lampreys, and have published it in YouTube. But the unit was bulky enough that it could not swim against the current. I finally used my GoPro to get the video. John
