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.

Welcome!

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

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

Definitly welcome to the community of vintage EQUIPMENT divers :D .

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 :roll:. Upside though is it generates a lot of interest.
