Vintage Diver Picture

Thanks John, Mom is doing well, she just doesn't have the mobility to live alone. They have thousands of pictures and 8mm moives, it'll take many hours to go thru them all. There was an 8mm movie made of my dive in the living room! If I ever get it on a media I can post I will. We used to repiar our suits but never tried to make gloves or suits for that matter. The harness I'm wearing in the ice diving pic I made from seatbelts, brass book screws and SS rings. Those were good days.

I have often heard/read references to seatbelts being used for harnesses and even saw an old hawaiian pack at a flea market with one as a waist belt.

Well now you know where the idea came from!

Your photo brought back some great memories. When I was 7, my father made me my "first" scuba from some coffee cans. Somewhere I have some 8mm movies of me swimming in the back yard. Now I want to find an old projector and check them out. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.

Just in case anybody cares:

Nice.....now, how about a double carrick? JK

A single maybe??

If I remember my knots correctly, that is a double. A single is a sheet bend when two lines are used or a knot tied on the end of a single line.

Hey you're tying up the thread! That's a double.
