The Scuba Museum is sad to report that the Intova that I bought many years ago from VDH is now Kaput. So I will have to rely on the kindness of others at the Ohio Vintage dive event for photos. So please bring your intova or other and please share.

I got a lot of years and a lot of dives out of the intova and will most likely buy another from VDH.

I understand the new one is even better.

One more thing. If you want a hoody, shirt, gray or green hoses, or anything else delivered to the Ohio Vintage dive event please let me know ASAP.

Robohips and Barlow safely arrived to the days inn in bowling green. The swap meet began immediately with Kemps Cow . But of course he has at least one of everything in the box. Does he have one of these?

Diving at Gilboa on Friday was excellent! The parking situation and facilities leave a lot to be desired in my opinion.....

I was planning on working on the video footage this weekend, but forgot that my oldest son's bachelor party is taking place. I'll get the clips to him this coming week so that he can edit them. I am planning on having a 3-4 minute finished product, and will send it to Bryan and other interested parties. Sorry for the delay.

Well, it was no Portage event set up by Jeff Rice, but given the last minute change in plans I think it was a great event. As Bryan said before the diving was really nice at Gilboa, but the parking situation is intolerable. It is especially bad for a group of divers that want to swap, trade, and dive a multitude of different regs and tanks. White Star was cheaper, had a nice air fill station, parking in the same county as the dive location, and lots of stuff to explore underwater. There was a giant open water class on Sat and Sun and as a result the water was a tad stirred up. The poor viz did not stop the Lung who logged about 100 dives on Saturday alone I think.
A lot of neat gear was spotted. Karl busted out a NIB Airmite and shared with several other divers. The Scuba Museum also took the CG45 out for it's firtst dive in decades. It actually breathed rather well and looks great on the triples.


The swap meet was pretty decent as well. I ended up spending more money than I earned, but that happens every year. It is just too hard to pass up on the great deals and no shipping charges. Karl and Roger had the best stuff and they were besieged by hungry vintage divers even before they could unload the stuff out of their autos. The trading and selling was fast and furious,

I think including the Cow's brigade from Minn we had about 15 vintage enthusiast show up. Most were regulars but I know that we had at least one new guy, Mark L, The weather was really warm and sunny.

All in all a great time was had by all.

I would definitely like to do it again next year at White Star if Portage is still not an option.


Until next August.........

Wish I was there. Looks like Ya'll overcame and conquered anyway. I had to put up with 110 degree heat and lots of Morays and octopi at Haql, KSA, on a two day overnight, but I was thinking of you all when I was diving in that 82 degree water. Well some one has to do it. God Bless and Keep on DH'ing
