Your posts and pictures verify that vintage diving is an universal activity with out borders.

The pictures of the divers in vintage equipment with their smiling faces could have been photographed any where in the world; California to Turkey and all points in between.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s I dove with a real pioneer diver, John D. Craig who was the author of the 1938 best selling diving book, "Danger is my business." On Novinger 1, 1962 I asked John to sign the book for me, he inscribed it "From one lousy diver to another." John passed away exactly seventeen years ago on August 1, 1997, he was 90 years old

And from a "lousy diver" from the past, of the present and hopefully for the future I send you congratulations for all you are doing to promote vintage diving in Turkey

28th September Rize Vintage Diving

Rainy and windy day we dived 55 feet into sunken coast guard boat . 3-4 intensity currents and wind were the most important handicap.
Despite the extremely difficult conditions for a vintage diving can say that we had an enjoyable day.
Over the remains of sunken ships were cleaned beer bottles and some fishing nets.
9 men and 2 women divers we've struggled with both currents and have tested our double hose regulators. Royal Mistral ,Mistral, Royal Aqua Master , Drager and Nemrod worked without problems.
Sunken boat house was dark but quite not current some little Black Sea fishes living.
Our vintage diving career we want to continue snowing in winter . The most pleasing aspect Vintage Divers came 1200 km for diving . Vintage Diving in provinces outside Istanbul's gratifying to be done.
During the summer season we do expect divers from other countries.
