We have a great community here on VSP. I’ve been helped numerous times, tried to provide help when I know what the hell I’m doing, and have acquired lots of gear via this forum.
There’s one thing that seems to be lacking here as well on VDH, but it’s a Vintage Dive Group. Yes I said that.
You might be scratching you’re head thinking “But those exist already.”
Those groups sure do exist, however there isn’t a unified group that has members across the globe with ORGANIZED chapters who can provide the knowledge, skills, and techniques to those who want to start up in the hobby of vintage diving.
NAVED exists, not to down play its role, but it’s rules are too rigid and I haven’t heard of anything new happening within it.
What I’m thinking, is that we create a somewhat formal group, with chapters across the globe, with the intent to train other divers in vintage technique/gear, to organize dives, and to keep this hobby well and alive.
My greatest fear is that in 20-30 years, vintage diving will be an even smaller group. Let’s organize a group, get more divers into this, and keep it going for decades to come.
Let me know what you all think of this.
