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.

Mistral Rebuilt Double Hose Regulator

  • Very Clean Body Inside - Out with NO Corrosion, no serious body damage - only very light scuff. Body is "Matt" finish coating. Estimated date of mfg is 1964-1968 Warner Address on box label.
    • Note this manufacture year would have been "Black Hose w/ Black Curved EZ Clear Mouthpiece" We are offering the color hose configuration Yellow / Black Mouthpiece as a novelty as it looks nice. The Yellow / Black Color was used only in 1960 - 1962 and would have had a short yoke. This unit is newer with long yoke.
