Poor mom...
Gotta love our Moms. When mine saw "JAWS!"2, she bought me a (very cool I must say) powerhead that attached to my cylinder as well as an ammunition belt. Note the pic.

They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport".
Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage.
Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure.
HELP SUDS and Wounded Soldiers learn to DIVE!
