Weren't those originally made only for rebreathers, meaning NOT for SCUBA?

Dbl hose were the original SCUBA regulators, single and double stage.

Great, thanks for the info!!

[Andrew Craig-Bennett]

Something at the back of my memory tells me that a cousin of mine made one by starting with a Calor Gas regulator; that would have been very early 1960's.

Yes, and someone gave me a book entitled 'Stay away from the scrapyards and live!!' About DIY diving kit.

As I recall, he wanted to walk across the Thames, at, approximately, Hampton Court Reach, and he did so, wearing not flippers but a pair of Plimsolls with lead weights cast onto the bottom of them. I was younger than him so I cannot recall why he wanted to do that.

Edited to add - he did it OK.

Growing up I remember DIY books on making your own scua gear; army ammo belts for weight belt ... 'w/ quick release' of course, and aircraft hyd-sys preload compressors to fill tanks, etc etc
