Bare dry suit and Technisub

An early diving dry suit by Bare this suit was made in the late 1970's. Made of a vinyl coated material with neoprene neck and wrist seals it is still quite comfortable to wear (although it is showning some signs of its age and needs a new zipper and wrist seal repairs). I've never actually dove this suit as I havnt been able to find one of the valves for it thats missing but it is a very nice suit for the collection.



The mask in the photos is a Technisub Tec 1 mask. Made in the 1980's it was a cheap way of getting a full face mask. Completely rubber (with the exception of the glass and trim of course) it featured a full oral nasal mask inside which was attached to any regulator that you wanted (In this case my US Divers Conshelf 21) and also had a side port for a coms system. The big drawback was that with the oral nasal mask you couldnt easily equalize pressure withing the facepiece itself. This could make things rather uncomfortable at depth.
