Our Friend in Japan

Mr. Suzuki diving in some gear that looks very authentic! He has a Phoenix and a Jet Air that I know of...Maybe more??

Dear, Mr. Bryan

Hello, it is hot day today and my holiday. I went to scuba diving. Please see the files.

I have put on US Diver's royal aqua master (Tokyo bomber). Some time I do not scuba diving. But Sea is good condition. Diving spot is Miho port of Shimizu. If condition is better, famous mountain in Japan, you can see Mt.Fuji behind of sea.

Best regards

Hiroyuki Suzuki

Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a great spot.

I can't read the sign, but the pictures on it looks interesting. I wonder what it is saying.

Hiroyuki looks awesome in his vintage gear!

I think Fred (Scubanut) and Allan (Simonbeans) have some serious competition in the best dressed vintage diver category. 8)

That is a good looking early 70's backpack.

I bet you like the weight belt.

That is so easy. Just go to the finest website for vintage dive gear, aka vintagedoublehose.com and find the harnesses in the store. Whenever anybody needs anything in the vintage dive world, WHO DO THEY CALL?

Let me translate for you Luis, It is saying " Bryan and Rob may not be served at any sushi buffet, restaurant, hotel, diner, etc.....Please watch for them on the beach as they will eat anything and everything that even remotely looks like sushi. Please send them back to Todai in Hawaii so they can be big American pigs.... :lol: :lol:
