Diver1955 7 Posted October 6, 2022 My name is Shaun Caisse and I live in NH. I have a 2006 Rancher 350 that is used more as my my yard tractor but I do get out on the trails as much as I can. This looks like a great site and I'm looking forward to checking it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That photo was taken in 1981 in Wilmington Ca (Los Angeles harbor). That hat was a “Rat Hat” which was the house helmet of the Oceaneering Co. I worked in LA, Catalina Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Saudi Arabia. Rat Hat had a very tight neck hole and I had to compress my nose while the tender twisted it on. Was actually comfortable once you were in Does look like the K-M Superlite series. It was a great way to make a living.

It was a great way to make a living. The reason I figured the North Sea. I figured you were born in 1955 and would be right at the same age of my ex-brother in law. He was a SAT diver in the North Sea which was booming around that time. He was based out of New Orleans. He dove for 10 years , 30 days at a time in the tube , made big bucks , saved and invested his money, then retired and he has not worked a day since about 1985 and lives like a king. I know about 1/2 dozen of his dive buddies and all are and were kicks to be around. Deep divers are a couple of bubbles off. Lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
