Hello everyone! Just learned about this forum and joined immediately. A little background... I was an avid diver back in the mid '70s, making hundreds of dives up and around Gloucester/Rockport MA. And yeah... my first regulator was a two hose US Divers (model long since forgotten)!! As life happened, dove less and less. Occasionally cleaning a friends pool or recovering something dropped off a dock... but nothing like in my mid 20's. Oddly enough, now in my 60's and my interest has been rekindled. Some friends have picked up the sport and now I'm picking up some gear and plan on diving this summer. I now have a boat (Mainship Pilot II, 30'), and we plan on diving from that. I have taken a refresher course and have a brand new PADI Open Water C card. Instructor said that I wasn't rusty at all !! Now familiar with BCD's (we used to use Mae West style "life vests"). I'll be posting questions about used gear. I doubt I'll be able to help with any other divers questions, unless they're about the "good-ole-days". Glad to be here. Already posted a question about the used US Divers "Select" model regulator I picked up. Looking forward to learning so much from the members here !
