True freedom…

Wow, no wing, I’m impressed!
Don’t see that too often except for very few of us.

... except true true freedom just might mean dispensing with the backup 2nd stage.

And, maybe, using a J-valve, and dispensing with the AI transmitter.

And, maybe, using the reg (BA/156) in your avatar as your primary.

And maybe ditch the computer for a Bend-O-Matic.

Well, if we're using a J-valve (on a steel 72) with our FP, then we really only "need" an analog depth gauge (B&G), a self-winding watch, an analog compass, and (submersible) tables, right? I mean, if we're discussing "true freedom" ...

I pitched the idea of a "Classic Diver" certification to a friend here (owns my LDS) a couple of weeks ago. I thought that training should include double-hose regulators, too. And, maybe spearfishing, too. Would get divers diving relatively cheaply. He didn't think today's MO/AR divers would go for it.

What are MO/AR divers?

What are MO/AR divers?

Missouri/Arkansas. I live in central Missouri. Our best "local" diving is in southwest Missouri, northwest Arkansas, for example in the Army Corps of Engineers lakes Bull Shoals Lake (especially) and Table Rock Lake.

Hey everyone. I am thinking about getting back into diving after an 8 year hiatus and wanted to know if these backplates are still made? I had one when I lived in CA before I stopped diving and it was stolen from me. It was the best backplate set up I ever used and would love to get one again if possible

The freedom plate assemblies shown are really impressive. Congratulations to all of you.

They really are something very nice

For sure.

I am more than fortunate to have a custom long length Freedom Plate...
