Vintage dive

[justleesa]

Once again my buddy and I went on a vintage dive. This time his reg was even older than me!
We had a great time and I got some good pictures.

The pictures are posted in the new "Sea Hunt Era" diving vintage scuba gear sub-forum

Please go and take a look!

I really like the photo of divers ascending the line from the wreck. Nice depth (literally and figuratively). I remember doing that REALLY slowly when I was there -- my computer kept squawking at me to get the heck up b/c I had reached my no deco limit but I didn't want to go up too fast and risk a DCI hit.

And you got the frogfish again!

Now where in the world do you get that vintage equipment serviced????

Yup. He's still hanging out there, some days you find him some days you don't, so it's always a like an easter egg hunt

The demand and the interest is quite high. In fact it's so popular that some companies have even started reproducing parts ( right now I'm not sure if it's new companies or the original companies).

Roger has worked on his own stuff ( is certified for it ) and if he has one where something needs to be done for which he doesn't have the tools, he'll send it in to a company that specializes in vintage gear repair. It's really cool. The one he is using in the pic just came back from repair. It breaths so easy...Rogers says that it makes his modern regs look bad!

Nice photos Lisa. I have a friend here who is a "relic diver". He doesn't use a BCD, wears a T-shirt instead of a wetsuit, uses swim fins with a pair of sweat socks, has a mask like the one that Lloyd Bridges used in "Sea Hunt" some 30+ years ago.
He is one heck of a diver though.
