Vintage Divers are the best

Fri Aug 17, 2007 1:42 pm

I just love you guys. Since I have been involved with Vintage diving/divers, I have had the priviledge of making harnesses for you. This morning I got an order for a basket harness for a friend of my Czech brother Rob for his 5 year old son. He wanted it made for a 13 cu ft pony bottle. It is so cute that I had to show you all the result. And it is so refreshing to make a little one as compared to the others I have made. For some, I think I will rename them "barrel harnesses". From a 20" waist to over 60". Whew, that one was fun. Thanks for the order Dennis.

Put a steel 72 on that boy and make him do pushups while breathing through a straw :shock: .

That isi a nice looking outfit on a nice looking future diver--good work there.

Nicely done Allan....I can just hear that little guy talking to his friends about going diving!!!
Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB

He is my old partner's oldest son and has been super charged about scuba since his Dad was certified. His Dad took him to the pool the other day and he tooled around in the shallow end for about 1/2 an hour. I loaned the second stage to them and the 1st stage Dad got for him. I think he needs an oval mask and a slick skin suit myself!
I told his Dad that I would have loved it if my Dad would have done that for me!
