R.I.P Bryan Pennington, Founder of Vintage Double Hose, the company that got me started in Vintage scuba diving, re-building my own vintage equipment by supplying re-manufactured parts, designed the modern Argonaut Kraken scuba regulator, and gave me the opportunity to live a dream come true... Re-enacting Sea Hunt episodes in the actual Silver Springs, FL. A Memorial Dive will be held at White Star quarry in OH August 26th. All are invited and all are welcome.

Bryan was a huge influence in the DH scene. Probably the most influential.
If he hadn't produced service parts as well as a new DH design, it would have been much harder to do what we do. I'll venture to say nothing much might have happened if he hadn't come along.
No matter what you thought of him personally (there are members here who have butted heads with him, and he could be difficult), he was a huge contributor to the vintage dive scene.
I can't make it to the memorial, but I hope he's represented.
RIP, Bryan.
