THE ABYSS (1989) - Diving Backpack - A diving backpack from James Cameron's The Abyss. When a Navy submarine crashed underwater, oil drillers led by Virgil Brigman (Ed Harris) used diving backpacks when they teamed with Lt. Coffey's (Michael Biehn) military personnel to rescue survivors.

Constructed by Western Space and Marine, this custom diving backpack is designed to be refilled while underwater, allowing the cast to be submerged longer during the diving sequences. It features a metal deep-sea diving shell painted yellow and is mounted with a pair of black ridged tank holders, rubber hoses, a Dacor scuba pressure gauge on the left side, electrical metal tubes, a handlebar, and yellow and blue nylon straps. The backpack exhibits intentional distressing by production to appear well-used underwater with rusting, liquid staining, and discoloration to the paint and rubber. Paneling on the pack's back is lifting. Dimensions: 28" x 20" x 15" (71.25 cm x 51 cm x 38.25 cm)

Contains electronic components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $1,500 - 3,000
