Hello- My name is Jerry
I have been lurking around here but I decided to come up for some air and join the fun. I live in Roseville just up the road from Sacramento, CA.
A little of my history- I started diving in 1969 while in high school. My first regulator was a Mistral which was the love of my life. I later used a healthways scuba star and other single hose death trap gizmos. I got into some hardhat commercial diving and even did stuff in Uncle Sam's Navy.
But my dive career has come around full circle. About 6 month's ago I discovered vintage diving and it sure feels good to return home. Vintage diving has re-kindled my zest to dive where I once lost interest. I bought a rebuilt RAM and it sure felt good to have two hoses around my neck once again. No more multi single hoses sticking out all over with quadrouple tanks that you can't even move when you go under. Just simple vintage gear as diving was meant to be. I am so jazzed again I even bought a DA and a Mistral that will be my future rebuild projects.
Last month I did a couple of dives with Eric (ZKY) at Gerstle Cove on the north coast. We had a blast even though vis was down. Who cares about low vis when you get to get your DH wet. Any hoo just wanted to say howdy and hope to dive with some of you in the future.......maybe even a west coast Sand D ;Dog would be great for us westerners!
Hoo Ya!
