That's funny... :lol:

Remember, Bryan is not the one with Rob's regulator. It is the Dive Lab that Rob and Bryan visited that offered to test a couple of double hose regulators (and Rob's Broxton is one of them). :(

Hi Bryan,

Turns out I have a second blue one piece in better shape. I bought it on a green label but I do not know that it is original to that reg. It is as soft as a new silicone hose and is a very dark Navy blue. Even though it is very soft when I inverted the end the inside is a bit lighter in color. The inside blue matches close to the navy blue of an Otarie fin I have. I could not bring myself to permanently part with the hose it but I would be happy to loan it to you for a color match.

Hi Bryan,

Not sure if anyone has an ID on the valves in your one-piece. I was looking through some old skin diver mags from 54 & 55 and I am thinking your valvles might be made by Mar-Mac.

Hey if your thinkig about making a production run of these you can put me down for a couple pair of blue and a pair for black
Someone told me that diving a double hose reg will kill me. I had no idea these things were dangerous.
