As for the NAVED pamphlet! I think it looks great and very professional and by definition is such since it was paid for by Bryan and made by a printer.
I was not the only one who paid to have them made. I know that Nemrod did most of the leg work and paid a large chunk of the cost as well. Sorry if I don't know the others that went in on them as well. I don't mean to omit or forget your contribution as they are all appreciated very much.
Double hose diving grows and grows and there are lots and lots of divers who prefer to do their own thing and dive when they want to. Frankly many people don't have limitless vacation time and what time they do get they often have other obligations to with family and such and therefore cannot attend the functions we do have. Speaking selfishly for myself I have a full time job that I am required to work a 50 hour week at. Then I come home to work on VDH stuff and now my new family.
I do welcome and will support in anyway I can vintage divers that want to spread the word and have local gatherings.
Something some of you don't know and other may have forgotten is that one winter I offered FREE of charge use of 7 double hose regulators to ANYONE who wanted to use them at an event, club meeting, vintage scuba night etc etc....All you had to do was pay the shipping cost. NO ONE took me up on it....So the regulators went to the Bahamas and now have been rotated into the "Explorer Kit"
Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB
