Vintage Divers at Weeki Wachee Spring

[simonbeans]

This coming weekend marks the 3rd Annual Gathering of Divers using vintage equipment. Specializing in double hose regulator use, Sand Dog III as it is being called will see divers from all over the US converging on Western and Central Florida. The event officially begins on Friday, March 31 and runs through Sunday April 2. Dives are planned for Destin, FL on Thursday, March 30 for the many who want to dive in the Gulf. The remainder of the activities include dives in Alexander Spring, Blue Spring, Manatee Spring, Troy Spring, drift dives on the Silver River and the Rainbow River. The finale of the weekend includes a vintage diving show at Weekie Wachee Springs. Here the divers will showcase the equipment used in the 1950's and 1960's when sport diving was in its infancy. Demonstrations, displays, and an equipment swap are to be held. Pristine and tuned to perfection double hose regulators will be available for use if you are a certified diver and would like to experience this aspect of scuba diving.

For a moment, when you said vintage divers, I thought maybe it was a senior citizen dive club

Hey, while I might feel old on occasion, I am only 30, and I'll be there.

How often are there meets in Destin?

 

[The Chairman]

I will be there! Did you check out the banner we have going on? You can also find more info and sign up at www.DiveWeeki.com!

When did SB join the event, Pete?

 

[The Chairman]

This year Walt! That's we call it our "First Annual"...

 

[Walter]

Actually it's the third day of Sand Dog III. I wasn't aware SB was participating until I saw your post this afternoon. Did SB join today? Last week?

Who's Walt?

 

[The Chairman]

Well,

I could resort to calling you "Wally" again!

We were invited by the Good Folk at Weeki Wachee to provide safety divers and to help sponsor the event. We gladly obliged and even created a banner to promote the dive at Weeki! I had no idea it was over multiple days until this thread!

 

[Walter]

Safety divers? For whom? Pete, I'm the newbie in this group. It'll be great to see you again. Any idea who else is coming?

Wally's better that Walt, it shows that playfulness I know you have. The other is a lack of attention.
