Vintage Double Hose

Jerry Moseman's RAM/DAAM
- Known to many people in our Vintage community, Jerry Moseman was an internet friend and associate of my buddy SwimJim. They never met face to face. Jim has been frequently diving a Divair regulator that Jerry developed a new diaphragm for... And SwimJim did the field testing. Well, recently SwimJIm had an opportunity to purchase a remembrance of his friend: Jerry's personal double hose regulator.
- It's a uniquely personal regulator in that it is a satin chrome DA AquaMaster with a Royal AquaMaster balanced first stage nozzle. Other personal touches are yellow reflector tape on the hose clamps and a Dymo label "Jerry Moseman" on the front can.
- SwimJim paid tribute to Jerry by diving this special regulator in Fortune Pond recently. I snapped a few pictures to record the event.

Cool tribute to Jerry. All those Fortune Pond pics are great. I'd like to make it someday. Flying to the MidWest costs 3x more than to Europe.....

I call my RAM the DAMN RAM after it freeflowed uncontrollably on its maiden dive.

That DAAM RAM couldn't have gone to a better home than with Swimjim! He likes it not only because of the Dymo name label, but because Jerry's name is permanently engraved on the back can. Jerry did that on most everything he really liked, and obviously planned to keep.

I never met Jerry, but Francie and I spent a whole day in March with his lovely wife (widow), June. I can tell from the condition of every item he kept that he was meticulous with his diving gear. He kept virtually all of it in a spare bedroom to keep it clean and out of the Texas heat in his garage, and that even included at least a dozen tanks and a small vintage Cornelius compressor that was clean enough to eat off of. And he picked a very nice wife too. (I didn't feel it appropriate to ask if she had a tattoo saying "Property of Jerry Moseman, TXDL....". Besides, Francie would have smacked the crud out of me! I think June would have just laughed.)

Enjoy your regulator SwimJim.

Hi Bill and Swimjim,
Thanks for the tribute to Jerry Moseman/

The regulator is indeed an interesting piece. I merely cleaned it up a bit and changed the high and low pressure seats. It dove very nicely. I spent some time at one hundred feet with it. Nice and smooth. I am glad to have it and it occupies a unique and special place in my collection.
