Most people know Mark Tozer for his technical diving and his deep sea ocean exploration. However, alongside his career in shark diving, Mark has developed a deep passion for vintage scuba gear and the history of underwater exploration.
Discovering Vintage Scuba Gear
Vintage scuba gear represents the early days of diving innovation. Long before modern dive computers and advanced regulators, divers relied on mechanical equipment designed with remarkable engineering and simplicity.
During the 1950s, 60s, and 70s often called the golden era of scuba manufacturers produced iconic equipment such as twin-hose regulators, early single-hose regulators, steel cylinders, and classic gauges. These inventions allowed divers to explore shipwrecks, document marine life, and push the boundaries of underwater discovery.
For Mark, vintage scuba gear tells the story of the pioneers who first opened the underwater world to exploration.
Preserving Diving History
Over many years Mark began collecting classic regulators, valves, and historic diving equipment. What started as a personal interest gradually became a mission to preserve and document the history of scuba diving.
To share this passion with the global diving community, Mark created a website dedicated to vintage scuba gear, diving history, and classic underwater equipment.

The website has become a growing resource for collectors, divers, and anyone interested in the remarkable engineering that made early underwater exploration possible.
For Mark, preserving vintage scuba gear is not just about collecting equipment it is about protecting the legacy of the divers, inventors, and explorers who shaped the history of scuba diving.
