    Thanks for the add, really dig your pics from back in the day, awesome doc**entation of our past! I especially enjoy and respect the work done by you gen 2 divers in your ingenuity in creating your own distinct systems, helmets, masks and .... whatever that one thing I saw once was... really great work. Great example of pragmatic problem solving with the sandwiched lead idea for ballasting your helmet, also could kind of tell that you intended a second stage regulator on the front before it got put there, preemptive proactive planning; our professions hallmark.

    More Pictures!!!

    Have a great one,

    Drew.
