Exotic locale diving just isn't in the cards for me. Can't afford it. Since I'm only about 3 hours from the Fla. keys I do most of my diving there. After so many reefs and so many wrecks I'm looking for something to make diving really interesting again. I'm thinking vintage equipment diving. Maybe not so much vintage equipment, but vintage style diving.
What the heck am I talking about?
Double hose regulator but with aluminum 63s with K valves instead of steel and J valves. Ditchable weight belt instead of a weight integrated BCD. I like my modern mask and "rocket" fins, but I'd dive a Voit mask and duck feet.
I admit I'm a product of Sea Hunt and Thunderball, and I really do feel very encumbered with a big ol' BCD on. I want to return to a simpler, more minimalistic, way of diving but with some modern elements thrown in.
Am I nuts?
