1975 US Divers UDS-1 Triple Tanks totally self-contained life support system that includes 105 cubic feet of air, 1st and 2nd stage regulators, tank pressure gauge, and backpack. This system appeared while the Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau series was airing and was marketed to simulate the gear used on the show. It was only available for a few years and is very hard to find today. These tanks were last hydro tested in 1991. The whole setup is in excellent condition with no visible damage. Sold "as is". Price $1700.00.
RARE, VINTAGE TECHNISUB of ITALY DUAL TANK MANIFOLD, TANK BOOTS & HARNESS. High quality gear from Technisub of Italy. The dual tank manifold is a super heavy chrome plated bronze casting with two shut off valves and a reserve - not exactly sure how it works. It is NOT designed for USA tanks. This package includes the matching set of tank boots (the diameter is approximately 6 1/2 inches) and two sets of upper tank straps. Not sure if the straps are complete but you get everything you see in the photos. Price $250.00.
1987 U.S. DIVERS COUSTEAU BC with EXTRA MOUNTING BRACKET for ABS TRIPLE TANKS. This late 1980s's US Divers "Cousteau" BC is the same type used on the rare ABS triple tank system of the same era. The only difference is the labeling and the hard plastic frame that supports the tanks. Frame from an ABS BC included, with large screws to secure the triple tanks. This can easily be swapped out with the one in the Cousteau BC. The BC is used but still functional. You get the original hard plastic frame and the ABS frame to mount the triple tanks. Price $220.00.
IMPERIAL BC & TANK BACKPACK -- Hard to find, unique BC made by Imperial in the 1970s. It uses water as a buoyancy control in the large chambers on either side of the tank that fill up through vent holes at the bottom of the unit. With the oral inflator, you can add air which displaces the water and adds buoyancy. A very simple device with no vinyl bladders to tear or fail. It's in good condition and ready to use. A very rare piece for the vintage collector. Price $135.00.

This was designed for vintage 6.9" steel tanks only. Price $95.00.

Bendeez Adaptor for treating the bends. Uses standard scuba regulator. Manufactured in Australia at least 30 years ago and although it was made for the American market, not many were sold here. Very hard to find. The device allows you to breathe pure oxygen from a standard medical or welding oxygen tank to ease symptoms of decompression sickness (the bends) after a diving medical emergency. With the "Bendeez" secured to the oxygen tank, you can now clamp your standard 1st stage scuba regulator to the adaptor and breathe the oxygen just like you breathe from a scuba tank. Please have medical training BEFORE you use this device. This is designed for surface breathing only and breathing pure oxygen underwater deeper then 20 feet can cause injury or death. Price $125.00.
