Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB

Hard to tell with the low res, but it looks like they are diving early brass DivAirs. A cinematic classic. I shared it on my local dive club's Facebook page. Thanks for posting that up Bryan!!!

There is a thread in the Cozumel section of ScubaBoard about the twin-snorkel masks. I have not had time to look into it, but I though someone may be interested...


Here is a link:
http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/cozume ... story.html

There are some cool/ interesting pictures in that thread.


The guy (El Graduado) that started the thread seems to know a lot about the history of Cozumel and he is always posting some great old pictures and some great historical information. I always look for his posts.

I think some of the pictures in the posts on SB could have been of gear from Captain Fathoms stores...
