This is my Viking Sport suit which I usually use when diving. I've had a turbo hood added to it as I think they are way more comfortable than the normal latex hoods. Heavy duty cuffs have also been added as well as attachment rings to allow the use of dry gloves. What attracted me to this suit the most was the colour pattern. The Red torso and black legs fit my style quite nicely. The smooth rubber of the Viking suits also makes clean up after a dive a breeze.
The tanks in the picture are my US divers ABS (Advanced Breathing System) which I purchased in 1990. Inside the case you have triple 30 cubic foot cylinders connected by a manifold. This not only gives you a total 90 cubic feet of air (as opposed to the standard cylinders 80 cubic feet) but also gives you an hydrodynamic backpack which is ballanced on your back, unlike normal cylinders. This creates less drag as you go through the water.
The mask is a US Divers EXO 26 bought in 1992. Comprised of an outer "Exo skeleton" and an extremely supple inner mask this has to be one of the most comfortable masks I have ever
dove with. It can be used either with tanks or a surface supply and is equipped to take communications equipment (although I dont have any). I would, however, like to get the matching hard shell helmet, which goes over your hood at some point in the future.
Put it all together and you have an incredibly comfortable set of diving gear which is suitable for most applications you can think of, including ice diving (yes I am qualified for that too)
