We are always looking to buy vintage scuba gear from all around Australia and the world.

The Dacor C-2 Clipper, produced between 1963 and 1

The Dacor C-2 Clipper, produced between 1963 and 1966, is a notable piece of diving history. This two-stage, double-hose regulator featured the innovative “Dial-A-Breath” system, allowing divers to adjust breathing resistance during their underwater adventures.
While Dacor’s double-hose regulators were built to last, some divers found their performance less impressive compared to other models of the time. Discussions among vintage diving enthusiasts highlight that the C-2 Clipper, with its unique design, holds a special place in the evolution of scuba equipment. www.vintagescubagear.com.au #scuba #vintage #scubadiving #scubadive #dacor #vintagescubagear #vintagescubadiving #museum #history #historic #historicaldivingsociety #marktozer #beach #beachlife #sea #ocean #water #reef #waves #underwaterphotography #underwater #old #usa #breath #australia #scubapro #cressi #mates #aqualung #jacquescousteau

Taking a break from regulators to shine a light on

Taking a break from regulators to shine a light on a true classic—the U.S. Divers Wraparound mask, made famous by Matt Hooper in Jaws!
With its innovative three-panel design for incredible peripheral vision, tempered glass lenses, and stainless steel frame, this 1960s gem isn’t just durable—it’s legendary.
A must-have for collectors, it remains a sought-after piece of diving and cinematic history.

The Dräger Delphin II is a regulator that always stops me in my tracks.
At first glance, the body looks like a twin-hose setup, but it cleverly operates with just one single hose! This unique design, known as the pendulum breathing system, handles both inhalation and exhalation through the same coiled hose – a truly groundbreaking innovation for its time.
• Max Depth: 25m
• Cylinder Options: 4L or 5L
• Unique Feature: Interchangeable metal mouthpiece
• Design Quirk: CO2 retention due to the pendulum system
To make this piece even more special, I also have the original Barakuda tank, completing the set. Together, the Delphin II and Barakuda tank represent a groundbreaking era in recreational diving.

Hello comrades! 😁

Today, I’m staying in the USSR era for just a bit longer to share a fascinating piece of diving history: the AVM-3 / ABM-3, also known as the Shap 62 – a rare and iconic vintage Russian double-hose regulator from 1966.

This Very Rare Vintage Russian Double-Hose Regulator represents a significant milestone as the first mass-produced scuba regulator in the USSR, manufactured by СКБ-КДА in Орехово-Зуево. It’s a true relic of Soviet ingenuity, built with a “function-first” approach under the military philosophy of “adequate is good enough.” www.vintagescubagear.com.au #scuba #ussr #russia #sovietunion #easternblock #scubadiving #scubadive #underwater #underwaterphotography #ocean #sea #water #reef #fish #marktozer #jacquescousteau #museum #collect #collection #eastberlin #adelaide #australia #war #vintage #vintagescubadiving #vintagescuba #vintagescubagear #beach #beachlife
