Dive Expo in Tacoma this weekend

[SeaRat]

I just wanted everyone to be aware of the Tacoma Dive Expo:

Ryan will be there with an exhibit of Cousteau equipment, and Dan will also be there with vintage equipment. I'm probably headed up tomorrow late morning, and so will be there in the afternoon sometime. Anyone in the Seattle/Tacoma/Portland area may want to head that direction to see some very unique equipment that Dan and Ryan have collected over the years.

Hey!
I think I can actually make this thing! Saturday is pretty much out, but as far as I know, Sunday is open!

Road Trip!
(Ok, so it isn't really that far, but considering the price of gas these days, it will cost as much as a big trip in the days when our gear was made!)

I had a good time it Tacoma yesterday, and got to talk with both Dan and Ryan. Their exhibit was great, and drew a lot of interest. I've got some photos, and will post those when I get a bit of time.

Well, I have been a bit remiss in not posting these photos of Dan and Ryan Spence at the Tacoma Diving Expo. Here they are:

Here is Ryan with just some of his extensive collection that he exhibited while there.


Dan is showing some of his collection in the same area that Ryan had his.


And here is Dan sharing information from one of his books on diving. He'll have to fill us in on who the follow in the photo is.

I spent several hours with Dan and Ryan, sharing some info (but I forgot to bring three regs that I wanted to show off). I did have my Healthways Scuba Delux with Dan's superflex hoses, and my Trieste II, again with Dan's superflex hoses. My wife spent a lot of time reading about Jacques Cousteau to keep busy while we were talking, so we had a great trip. Originally, I was going to do some diving, but had a cold and couldn't that day.

Enjoy,

John
