Working on that! I have have passed on a few nice ones lately but while the price of vintage pieces are down, I am looking for a Red Sub and SD. Sadly the price of those two have come down the least!

That's a beautiful Red Sub & 5513....two great pieces! Remember quality is much better than quantity in the vintage world!

You also forgot on your scorecard to include desk diving and off course my fave, hint starts with M and ends in F.

Ever tried taking a picture under water? It's not easy! Both the SD & TT Sub have been in the ocean, lake, pool, hot tub, etc.

Here's three divers:

What a great thread. I do have a Red Sub and a Sea Dweller. No pics at the moment.

Thanks for sharing all of this! 2009 - I am going to learn to dive... And my SD will get wet! I am looking forward to it.

Good for you...

I have a lot of dive gear. And a mini sub I rarely use anymore, I'm looking for a good Red Sub and Double Red Sea Dweller. I might be talked into a trade
