Simonbeans,
There is a whole new generation out there, and they think 30 years is "vintage," as they were kids at that time.

I suspect I'm older than most of you grumpy old men who are so nostalgic about how great it used to be, and probably did my first scuba before most of you.
But that doesn't make me more knowledgeable, or smarter, or a better diver, or give me the right to denigrate the youngsters.
It just makes me older.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

This forum is for vintage diving. A small segment of the ScubaBoard. All most of us ask is for a question to be asked AFTER a person does a little of his own research. Many of us learned to dive by reading, and reading some more. And then we took a class that made or broke you as a diver. And if you think we are grumpy, then maybe another adage that I am sure us of that generation were taught is to respect elders and realize their life experience might just be a bit more than the youngsters who "know it all".

Well, I may be older, but I'm far from a "grumpy old men" designation.
This second photo was taken after a dive at High Rocks on the Clackamas River, which is why I'm sans weight belt and the reserve lever is down. Note that these vintage tank systems are steel tanks.
