Channel Islands. Tons of 70s-80s era gear in the group. Some stuff a little out of adjustment, but no outright failures.

Now come on, a dive like that deserves more than two sentences. Maybe a paragraph or two, and some photos would be nice. We like to see the older gear being used.
Today, I dove High Rocks on the Clackamas River with a 1950's US Divers Company Overpressure Breathing double hose regulator, I took some GoPro video, but haven't seen it yet. Because I was diving my double 42 tanks, I was a bit light and could not get under the current like I intended, so was swept downstream a bit earlier than I had hoped. But overall, a very nice dive.

Boat full of divers in 70s and 80s era gear. Lots of Dacor 950 and 960 regs, not sure model/make of the really old double hose reg. Horse collars, plastic backpacks and neoprene dry suits. We all were taught to buddy breathe, don't need no stinking octopus. Everyone survived and had a great time.
