Ocean Quest regulator

Tue Dec 11, 2007 2:01 am

In the 1980's TV series Oceanquest, Al giddings got former miss america Shawn weatherly to do a dive under the ice at Mcmurdo. I have seen the episode and stills of the dive. Would the regulator she used on the dive be a collectible? or just a regular dive tool? Yes people did dive double hose regs in the 1980's LOL :shock:

No way I could sneak one by you Kemps Cow.......We are just trying to decide if they would be better suited to a collector of TV memorabilia or should I just break them down and turn them into Phoenix Royal Aqua-Masters as I had planned??? BTW, I much admire and respect Al Giddings for the work he has done. We all know a lot more about the oceans because of him.
Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB
