Herman makes some very important points in reference to mixing vintage and modern equipment. This is one of many rigs i use for those situations. It is a VDH restored Royal Master W/Phoenix,Scott Mark 15 DSV, Oxycheq #30 And a Vintage style harness with a modern twist. The harness can be...
Welcome to the club! Here is some appetizers for you. If you have any questions in particular feel free to ask.
Weights: Drager Germany
La Spirotechnique: Rechromed and rebuilt by Vintage Double Hose dot com
Voits:
And everyone's favorite Real deal Non Magnetic tanks and...
I am in search of Servicemanuals for any models of Drager Double hoses. I have already asked @ VDH and VSS. If you have any information on things such as IP, Lever height etc. that would be helpful.
The pictures of Ron are the coolest. Wheres your satchel? I too have a Hydroglove. I agree with Ron and John. The suits are great to dive and "The Squeeze" is NOT a problem. They are really affordable and come with a nice bag and repair kit. I did however buy the waist band to mitigate leakage...
The Diving characteristics of Steel 72's are very good. Plus they will last fore ever. Most of my tanks are from the 50's and still going strong. KEEP them!
Since this is in the vintage section let's look at a vintage tutorial. This is the guide I used when learning to dive vintage. At least to get me started during my 3 month pool sessions.
At one point I went as far as to Don all my gear and tank with 500psi. I then took a pony bottle down...
I agree with all the comments on Dave's work. I have had 2 regulators re-chromed by him. He even saved My La Spiro Royal Mistral from the trash can. Here are some shots of his work.
Herman is 100% right about VDH and Bryan. If you feel out of sorts on the board you may want to read more before posting. The members are Mossbacks and can be Seemingly harsh at times. But in reality they are all very Friendly, and helpful. Bryan's services are top notch. You will not find a...
Triple 19's would be pretty sweet. I am thinking about that one.:D
Being a great swimmer is A lost art. I told my son's they could not dive until they completed BSA Aquanauts and Swim Jockey. They both earned these this year at Scout camp. I earned my Swim Jockey too this year.:D It is...
I was asked about tank sizes for young kids in another thread. Since I have been training my son's to dive this year I thought I would start a thread. Of course they are learning to dive Vintage to start and when they grow up they can choose there own path.
I have two sons. They are ages 10 & 11...
