One of the true legends of vintage scuba the La Spirotechnique Mistral. Introduced in 1955, the Mistral replaced the famous CG45 and helped bring recreational scuba diving to the world. #cousteau

A rare piece of diving history!

The Mors Gdańsk twin hose regulator was manufactured in Poland during the 1960s, with only an estimated 2,000–4,000 units ever produced. Because very few were exported outside Eastern Europe, they're now highly sought after #VintageScuba

What a fantastic few days aboard the MV Rodney Fox celebrating the legacy of Jacques Cousteau!
One of the highlights was seeing guests dive my original 1960s DA Aqua-Master twin-hose regulator while coming face-to-face with great white sharks in the cage.

A rare piece of Aussie diving history back to life. (almost)

Mark's just refitted the hoses on a late 1950s regulator built for Dr Scoresby Shepherd by the University of Adelaide.

It was dived by him throughout 1960.

Cleaned, but kept completely original. #scuba #adelaideuni

[Vintage Scuba Gear @VintageScuba]

Pulled apart the only scuba regulator built by University of Adelaide back in the 1950s, made for Dr Scoresby Shepherd and it was regularly dived by him for years.

What really interesting is the main lever has clearly been repeatedly drilled to lighten it. #scuba #diving

Has anyone ever come across one of these Sea Bee Maxiflow regulators?
You’ve got to wonder what it would have been like to dive with one of these early design with bubbles going straight into your face the whole time. Not exactly what we’d call “streamlined” today!

This is something special.
A true one-off regulator, built by the University of Adelaide Engineering Faculty back in the 1950s
Even better, it was actually dived by Dr Scoresby Shepherd, one of Australia’s true pioneers in marine science and underwater exploration. #scuba

Very excited to have uncovered and secured hundreds of NOS vintage scuba items in Europe.

Regulators, backplates, Technisub gear, plus original tools and kits all untouched for decades. https://t.co/PxaCW6siF1

Rebuilding a Legend DA Aqua-Master

Took a 70-year-old twin-hose regulator and turned it into something that breathes like a modern reg.

Still looks classic however now performs like 2026.

Its time to get "Kraken" https://t.co/WT8x0X0E4Q

Just when I thought I’d seen most of the weird and wonderful inventions in vintage scuba gear, along comes the BENDEEZ.
The BENDEEZ Emergency Oxygen Adaptor was an Australian 1980s device that let divers breathe pure oxygen using their own regulator.

If you ever come across a Dacor DM30, don’t hesitate buy it.
In the vintage diving world, this mask is a true must-have.
Built in the late 1960s–70s, the DM30 nails the trifecta: fit, function, and history. #scuba #dacor

Another cracking Dive Day at Port Noarlunga with the usual suspects
Met at 8:30am to beat a 41° day, enjoyed a relaxed 45-minute vintage dive, and had twin-hose regs bubbling away as they should.
Packed up and finished it off properly at Bec’s Bakery with a pasty and a chst

This original late-1950s U.S. Divers compressed air pressure gauge was used on fill stations and compressor panels long before divers carried gauges underwater. Rated to 3000 psi and made in Los Angeles by Jas. P. Marsh. #scuba

A little piece of South Australian dive history…
This rare “Jack Design” scuba weight belt was made right here in SA around the early 1980s. Cast in solid lead on Grange Road, Adelaide, these heavy curved weights were built for serious working and abalone divers. #scuba

Amazing how old and new can come together.
My DA Aqua-Master is now fully set up with a modern Phoenix Plus first stage available from The Scuba Museum, bringing a classic 1950s regulator right into the 2026s.
Vintage soul, modern performance.
Now time to go for a dive. #scuba

[Vintage Scuba Gear @VintageScuba]

One of the most important upgrades ever made for vintage double hose regulators.
Originally developed by the late Bryan Pennington at Vintage Double Hose, the Phoenix first stage was the game-changer that allowed classic twin-hose regulators to be dived in the modern era. #scuba

DRÄGER DUOMAT SAME LOOK, DIFFERENT NAME!
If you’ve ever looked at the Dräger Duomat and thought, “Hang on isn’t that the Dräger Tauchtechnik twin-hose?” you’re not wrong!
The two regulators share that unmistakable Dräger style.
