I was talking to a friend who has a dive shop about an hour away from me. He hydroed and zinc-coated my 38s. He had seen on the web that I had won one of Bryan's photo contests a while back as well as getting 3rd place in Alec's Mike Nelson look-alike contest at the last Sea Hunt Forever. That was the end of the conversation. The next thing I know is that he acknowledged me on his website and this was his highly creative description:
"Mark Spencer a Avid Historic Equipment diver and INSTRUCTOR recently had us refurbish a set of Sportsways twin 1880 psi rated 38 cu.ft.cylinders from 1963.
Mark is current champion of a International historic diver competition based on authenticity & working order of Scuba equipment from the 60’s!"
Pretty funny.

"The diver who collects specimens of underwater life has fun and becomes a keen underwater observer. .. seek slow-moving or attached organisms such as corals, starfish, or shelled creatures." (Golden Guide to Scuba Diving, 1968)
