The Islands of the Fraternal Order of Moai

Hey, I found this blog site that highlights scuba diving in Rapa Nui. This destination is being added to the top of the list.

Do I read it right as a modern underwear tribute Moai?

It almost makes you think about erecting one in the pool at Ohana...

Maybe "sinking" is a better word choice.

The more difficult task will be recovering the heavy object from the pool on Sunday.

I just got back from the local marine consignment store which happens to regularly get in vintage dive gear. I looked at the price tag on an orange steel 72 with a 1/2 vertical stem K valve and was surprised to see they wanted big bucks for an out of hydro tank. It turns out it is a package deal... for a complete Kirby-Morgan hardhat rig with the communication box and 100' of surface supply hose.

This is one of those dive toys you need to have a few friends to play with, but is way too cool not to consider. It's the ultimate hooka rig, next to a real MkIV dress kit. We'd have to dig/rig up a surface supply manifold.

Do they have a special PADI c-card for these?

I tend to lean towards displaying vintage gear not actually using it!

I agree 100% All diving is inherently dangerous. Any life support system should not be used without proper training and maintenance. I certainly do not advocate grabbing a sponge diver's helmet off the tikibar shelf and heading down to the beach after a bowl of punch. Every piece of vintage equipment, whether a toaster, blender, welder or diving regulator should be inspected and serviced before any energy source is applied.

Well, it depends.

Do you want safety? Or a good story?
