Hi everybody!!

Here is my last post on "What matters is water!" about the huge step made by US Divers in 1958 introducing the Venturi effect with DW Mistral and DAAM.

I hope you'll enjoy!!

Nice article. Thanks

Very interesting observation about the timing of the transition of US Divers ownership and the evolution of the US Divers regulators. I was not aware that the Spirotechnique Mistral predates the US Divers Mistral by three years.

I always do find it odd the Spirotechnique never introduced an Aqua Master equivalent. I always wonder why.
