Only 2 are known to still exist in the world. Thanks for bringing it to Dema Ed!

I am I correct in assuming Ed La Rochelle is concentrating his collecting on ex military items? Didn't see much else..

Who is Carlos and how does he fit in to VDH?

Being an Honorary Brazilian I must inquire did Adair form a conga line and dance through the hollowed halls of DEMA? If not --- why Not?

Next year DEMA is in Lost Wages. See ya there,

The photos show Ed obviously has an outstanding UDT collection but I doubt there is any corner of historical diving Ed has left alone. I have only met him once but he most knowledgeable person I have ever spoken with about dive history. What little I have seen from his collection was impossibly rare and in unbelievable condition.

He is pretty much in a league of his own. He only buys the best and he only sells the best. Its quite painful to bid against him but if you ever have the chance to buy from him on Ebay you will know what you are getting is going to be one the top two. I have been more than pleased with everything I have purchased from him. Quality guy.

The photos in this listing would be a waste in the EBay section.
