J. Cousteau Package "Mistral " & Steel 85
J. Cousteau Package
Steel 85 cu ft. cylinder w/ Rebuilt J Valve & Mistral Double Hose Regulator
Jacques Cousteau's favorite regulator was the Mistral, named a "Mighty Wind" that coursed through the Mediterranean, as it delivered a fresh breath of air to breath.
We combined a completely restored vintage Mistral with all new components, and married it to a modern Faber steel 85 cylinder, with back pack for a complete kit for you to enjoy the feel of diving Cousteau's Silent World.
