If anyone's doing videos for discussion, could it have stuff like the basic differences of DH diving, like reg clearing, and hose recovery, doff and don, and "milking the hose?"

From the main site page......

Required Reading for Vintage Equipment Divers.

The books on this list will help you gain an in depth knowledge of the equipment and techniques used when the sport was new. Most of the skills and techniques are no longer taught in scuba courses today. These books can usually be found on E-bay, Amazon or Albirs used books for a very reasonable price and it pays to shop around. There is a section of our website forum dedicated to books and research material from the vintage era if you would like further recommendations.

Basic Scuba by Fred Roberts is considered by most vintage equipment divers to be the “Bible” of books to have. There are two editions and I'd suggest getting both if you can.
Skin and Scuba Diving, Sterling Publishing company, Athletic Series is a great all around book with lots of instructional pictures.
Diving For Fun by Joe Strykowski was published by Dacor Equipment Company and was used extensively as a diver training manual.
Diver Below by Hank and Shaney Frey is another diver instructional manual with a lot of great illustrations and training with double hose regulators.
The New Science of Skin and Scuba Diving by the Council for National Cooperation in Aquatics. Instructional manual with excellent photos and information.
Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB

Well, I've read those, but it would still be nice if it can be reinforced with a video.

(I'm just saying :D )
