>     -Tanks with J valves.
>     -One rig had a scubapro second stage stuck in a Mares FFM. 
>     -sucide clips on weight belts and tank straps.
>     -UK 400 light and ikelight modlight as primaries.
>     -a sherwood shadow second stage/bc inflator
>     -a "stage bottle" marked "spare", which was an alum. 80 on a scubapro 
>     BC jacket with a scubapro Mk 2 first stage (the sonic howler) and 28" 
>     spg whip.
>     -funky looking harnesses that looked to be a homemade version of 
>     Miller bell harnesses.

>     I did not see any reels, real lights, long hoses, or the rest of the 
>     gear. At least one of the divers had a snorkle.
