Ever notice the smile on your face when diving double hose?

Sun Sep 24, 2006 7:57 pm

Yesterday the weather over here was lousy for diving, so a non-vintage diving buddy of mine came over to overhaul a couple of his Sherwood regulators.

Since he was doing most of the work on his regulator, I decided to check some of my vintage single hose regulators.

While checking them out, I made the casual comment that I should use one of my vintage Poseidon or maybe Scubapro Mk5 sometime. His response was “I wouldn’t recognize you underwater without the smile on your face”. It was obvious that I didn’t know what he meant, so he explained that he could always tell me apart from all other divers because of the smile on my face.

Which smile? I asked.
Pete: “ The smile formed by the mouthpiece and the floating hoses of the double hose.”

Well, I guess that is fitting :D
