2x 15l cylinders with twin valves to allow two separate dvs (dont ask me what make,, they work ok... ) ... a crap Wing/bcd thing... Poseidon I think... Northern Diver Vortex drysuit... O3 semidry... big grey fins - makers mark long obliterated - Mares I think.... and an 18 year old mask that ought to have potatoes planted in the nose piece Embarassed

oh.. and an Aladdin air computer

Best of all? Big goody bay, second goody bag, handspear...

What do I like about it? Other than the bcd thing, its all good... very carefully chosen... and does the job!

What dont I like about it? Its heavy It needs cleaning and it needs servicing and replacing now and again.

Finally lost my last bit of original gear a few weeks ago when I decided to replace my contents gauge - took the original off the valve when I cleaned it and there was a nasty corroded look to the entrance to the hose, so I thought it was time... and consigned it to Davy Jones locker!
Senior piece of gear is now my mask.. new in my second season... wouldnt mind a penny for every scallop I've seen through it... or a quid for every one I've picked up through it! Very Happy
