Changing Minds on Double Hose Diving

Ok so even though I have been diving double hose regulators for awhile most people under the age of 40 have not. I just turned 30 this year and have made a New Years Resolution and that is to get as many young divers interested in diving with double hose regulators as I can. We need to keep the interest alive so others can follow in our foot steps and cary on the legacy of diving a double hose regulator.

You don't have to be vintage to dive vintage! I just turned 31 last month. the vintage diving community is full of people of all ages and experience levels. And for the most part everyone plays well with others

Welcome aboard. -Ryan

Welcome!
I would be willing to bet that the majority of people under the age of 50 have never dove a double hose regulator.

Definitely don't have to be vintage to dive vintage. I wasn't even in kindergarten yet when most of my equipment was made..

Yah I am also into diving closed circuit. I bought a MK15.5 3 years ago and have put MK16 upgrades in it. I love it. Idon't dive helium so I'm only running custom Nitrox through it but it's awsome and was well worth the money.

Absolutely agree. I'm 19 and I dive vintage, more like "eclectic", and boy do I get some looks

. Upside though is it generates a lot of interest.

We'll have to work hard to make that all vintage..

As Rob would say: "Diving as God intended"
