always interested in the real story :) when the jacques Cousteau "L'Odyssée" story (with Lambert Wilson) came out 2 years ago I bought it (on amazon france) for my Dad to see it, and he even said that real life was very different from that movie, having been a long time diver back then and gone with Cousteau team on a dive a few times... I brought it back and enjoy watching it.
Hi Alec, I do enjoy the vintage US Divers Aqua Lung Regulator history. Very nice condition, the chrome and the double rubber hose, just wonderful. Enjoyed SCUBA Episode. Happy Holidays🎅🎄
Hi Alec.I thought that the removeable exhaust made it easier to change the duck bill valve without removing the clips? I see that there was not one in that reg? Without wagon wheel valves in the mouthpiece it would be difficult to clear the water in the hoses. Did anyone ever play around with the idea of a purge cord or lever to the regulator body in the back?take care Owen m
What every they will pay. Regs can vary in price based on many factors, key being is can it dive or just display. Follow my sales on eBay under vendor "SeaHunter". A
This story reminds me of Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX... If you read the news and stories put out by other media it's Elon that is inventing and designing everything his companies make. Kind of sad that the true engineers and scientists are not put in the spotlight. Don't want to discredit Musk or Cousteau, just saying that there are more people involved. Anyways, great video as always!

What is a regulator like that worth to a collector?
