VDH interview with a Canadian Blogger

Mon Jan 14, 2013 9:31 pm

Kathy was kind enough to do a little write up about us for her blog. Not sure where the picture came from but it sure beats one of me! Take a moment to look it over.

Cool.

Interesting full face mask she is wearing. Based on the looks of the mask and the buckle I tend to think that it is German, more specifically Drager, but that is mostly a guess. My Drager tank harness has buckles like that.

I actually saw the post on facebook, really nice article as was the Jonathon Bird article/video. Great to see VDH and our "passion" out there.

Don't hold me to it but I think that image is from a site I ran across it when looking up gear. I'll see if I can find the link.

If Fraulein in the vintage wet suit would come to Texas she could dive with my vintage Drager double hose reg.

Yeah, its from the Hapwater site as can be seen in the photo sig on the lower right corner. Its an interesting European site to say the least.

I like the whole "focus on what's around not, not what's strapped to you" comment. I think that espouses the whole thing rather well.
